(1)–(2) No,
not as far as I am aware. I understand that the department and/or the minister
have been in conversations with UWA about the changes to Carnegie, but UWA was
keen to proceed with its wave energy research activity, based in Albany, and
that is a good outcome. Obviously, the outcome of the research, intellectual
property and work that has been undertaken by Carnegie will no doubt form a part
of the work that UWA conducts.
