Chair, I think I should indicate to Senator Mason that the government will be more than happy to provide him with further information about the priority goals of the review he mentioned, but I am unclear as to how that level of detail at this stage relates to this bill around establishing the Australian Research Council. Certainly they are very meritorious subjects, and matters that interest me also, and we are more than happy to cooperate. But I am sure Senator Mason appreciates that that information is not presently available with these officers with respect to this bill.
