From The Australian:
The Abbott government has held talks with Flinders University about hosting a major policy centre in Adelaide based on the methodology of controversial Danish academic Bjorn Lomborg.
Education Minister Christopher Pyne has been searching for an institution willing to host the so-called Australia Consensus Centre, with $4 million in federal funds, since the University of Western Australia pulled out of its contract in May.
UWA vice-chancellor Paul Johnson walked away after a backlash from academics and students over plans for the new think tank to work with Dr Lomborg’s Copenhagen Consensus Centre.
