Dr Kemp (Minister for Education, Training and Youth Affairs and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service)

(1) The Commonwealth Government has given the following total sum of grants (ie. operating resources, research grants and capital pool) to the University of Western Sydney (UWS) in each year since 1995 (2000 figures are current determined amounts as at 31 July 2000, excluding marginal funding).

(2) Total grants funding for future years has not been determined.
(3) The Commonwealth has given the following sum to the UWS under Commonwealth research funding schemes in each year since 1995 (2000 figures are current determined amounts as at 31 July 2000, excluding marginal funding).
