Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (16:00): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: Australia pursues its own national interest but, in doing so, is strongly committed to collaboration and partnership. We will continue to act to advance Australia's prosperity, ensure the independence of our decision-making and academic freedom at our universities and secure the safety and freedom of our people. Issues relating to state education jurisdictions and autonomous jurisdictions are properly matters for them.
