Non-notable think tank. Although the universities may be notable, a collaboration is not inherently so. While they certainly make an effort to put their names out there (including this page and a Facebook profile), there are few if any reliable secondary sources offering any significant coverage. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 02:21, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete. Unreferenced. Google News, Google Scholar and Google Books show no relevant results.^[1][2][3] — Rankiri (talk) 17:40, 1 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Weak delete - I'm with Rankiri 100% on this. I see a few google news hits but I don't think they're enough. If I saw something else though notable I could be persuaded though. Shadowjams (talk) 08:34, 8 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It isn't an official collaboration of those universities, it doesn't have for instance an office or a street address. Hence it should be judged only as an organisation in its own right, and in that sense it fails notability on all the grounds indicated (mainly a lack of sources).

Weak Delete It looks more like a glorified consultancy business to universities and government than a think tank (although maybe that is what a think tank is!). It does have a street address in inner city Brisbane and one at Griffith University as mentioned on its website: [4]. It has put out some large policy commentary documents[www.eidos.org.au/news/items/2006/12/119393-upload-00001.pdf], but I don't think this makes it notable in itself.
