Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The Discovery Translation Fund (DTF) was established in 2011.
(2) The DTF represents a partial restructuring of the Australian National University Connect Ventures (ANUCV) equity investment fund. In 2004, through the Economic White Paper, the ACT Government provided $10 million to the ANU to establish ANU Connect Ventures in partnership with MTAA Super which committed to contributing $20 million. The Fund was established by withdrawing $3 million from the ANUCV equity investment fund to the DTF.
