Hang on! It's quite possible for private universities to engage in agreements which are not consistent with Australia's foreign policy. You shake your head, but I would have thought that would be pretty self-evident. Why does Bond University get to do whatever it likes while the ANU has to be subject to this regime? If we're consistent about Australia having a coherent approach to foreign policy, why would you exclude privates?
