Best Answer

In Australia, political controversy in the Australian senate has centred on the proposed Aus$109 million (Pounds 52 million) sale to Queensland University of the campus of Bond University, the country's first private higher education institution. It was named after Australian property dealer Alan Bond, whose businesses later crashed in massive debt and who himself is on bail facing fraud charges.... That year (1987), the Queensland government of Sir John Bjelke-Petersen smoothed the way for further Bond-Takahashi relations by passing the Bond University Act. The university was intended as the centrepiece of a failed Aus$200 million property scheme to drive up the value of surrounding forests for residential and commercial use. http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?storyCode=96379§ioncode=26
