Mr Cook: I do not think they are public. They were agreements between the then minister for education and each of the heads of the Catholic or—they will be in the department; I just do not think they are public, that is all. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: Is there a problem with making those lists available? Mr Cook: I cannot imagine. Maybe I could take it on notice and see whether there is. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: I am just trying to ascertain whether they might be available before I talk to Christian Schools Australia over the next couple of days, but it sounds like that might not be the case. Mr Cook: They are probably archived, because they are 2013 documents, so we would have to actually go off site to get them, I imagine. Senator JACINTA COLLINS: If you could attempt to do that before you appear on the next occasion that would be useful. Mr Cook: Happy to take that on notice Answer From 2014 to 2017 the Students First Support Fund provides non-government representative bodies with funding to undertake projects and provide targeted support services to non-government schools in relation to the Australian Government’s education priorities.
