Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I thank the minister for her answer. I go to the two reviews. Will the minister clarify for the Senate that both of those reviews recommended increased funding and neither recommended that the academy close? Further, can she inform the Senate when the minister or the Prime Minister or any other representative of the government had discussions with the University of Melbourne, particularly University of Melbourne’s Glyn Davis? When did those meetings occur, who was there and how often did those meetings occur before the decision was made to close the academy?
