there's an invitation to make submissions on the paper to which both pdf and rtf links are supplied. The paper contains useful details of the current accreditation process and of the current spread of higher education institutions. It doesn't appear to specify the funding arrangements for the proposed foreign universities -- in particular the question of whether funds provided for these establishments will come at the expense of the current government funding for Australian universities. Maybe further information could be obtained from the following media contacts:<br><br>
