* SUPPORT FOR SCIENCE RELATED PROJECTS - A GSA Initiative.
The Federal Department of Industry, Science and Resources has recently issued two reports of importance to the funding of R&D to our industry. The first was from the Chief Scientist Dr Robin Batterham (see below) and the other is the Innovation Summit Implementation Group. You were urged to support the broad thrust of both papers by e-mailing the bureaucrats and/or the politicians responsible. The response was underwhelming and did the Geebungs no credit.
Details from Evan Leitch and Misha Frankel or on the GSA Web Site
