'Extremely disappointed': WA government seeks reimbursement from Deloitte over flawed university report The Western Australian government has said it is "extremely disappointed" and is seeking an "expedited" cost recovery from Deloitte after errors were discovered in a report about a potential university merger, including AI-hallucinated references and hundreds of millions of dollars in cost discrepancies. The government paid Deloitte $166,000 for a feasibility study on merging the University of Western Australia, Curtin University and Murdoch University. Deloitte considered three merger options between the three universities, with "low", "mid" and "high" cost scenarios, and broke down the calculations of those costs in the report's appendix.
