International Education Strategy

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Further supplementary arising from the original answer: has a memorandum of administrative understanding been signed between the minister's department and the body charged with overseeing international education inbound to Adelaide?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:00): I thank the honourable member for his question. I assume that he is referring to StudyAdelaide, the body that we fund to, obviously, be the marketing arm for international education on behalf of the government. MACIE, the advisory council that I have, is a volunteer group of people made up from the universities and from all the institutions that have come together to help develop the plan. In relation to those two, we don't have an MOU with MACIE, and we have an ongoing funding agreement with StudyAdelaide.
