The funding for the Defence Science
Centre is within the Defence West budget. It will be accommodated from within
the global budget of the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation.
There will also be a contribution from the federal government to fund the
director of research and development. I am not sure what the exact title of
that position will be, but the research director will be funded by the federal
government. It will also contribute to the research and development grant
scheme that will come into force. We will be calling for nominations for grants
from the start of the new financial year.
The SPEAKER : That is the end
of question time.
