Dr. Graham Love:

Our third level system had done a fantastic job. In addition to our tax, talent is one of the reasons we are where we are and it is really important that we treasure this. It is also a reason to get the governance right but I do not want that message being lost in here. There are 250,000 students and nearly 20,000 staff across 24 institutions. In terms of the level of funding, by international standards we are pretty efficient in producing approximately 45,000 graduates every year. It is really important to make that intervention and get that on the record here. This is one of our good products as a nation.
