Dr KEMP (Education, Training and Youth Affairs; Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service) (3:40 PM) —Mr Speaker, I wish to add to an answer that I gave during question time in relation to the financial difficulties that certain student unions have run into. Members will recall that the financial problems at Edith Cowan University with the union go back some time. In 1990 the Edith Cowan guild invested more than $1 million in the Western Women's group. The decision to invest, I understand, was made by Evan Rickards, the then guild treasurer, who was the stepson of Robin Greenburg, who ran Western Women and was later gaoled over her actions in connection with the company. I also note that, for the most recently reported year, the National Union of Students had a deficit of $44,185.
