Universities Australia is pleased with Labor’s promise of $300m for infrastructure (CMM yesterday) but, a $3.8bn-but, wants more. CEO Catriona Jackson says Labor’s announcement “is very welcome” in the direction leading to a return of the $3.8bn in the Education Investment Fund, which the government intends to switch to pay for the NDIS. “”Abolition of the last remaining capital fund for critical buildings and the cutting-edge equipment essential to modern, life-saving science, would be a body blow to national prosperity,” she says.
