I owe Kris a coffee...

Kris Gale - known for his enjoyment of food whilst travelling and report-predicting ability!

Kris and I ran a small bet over whether the Cutler Report (aka the National Innovation System Review Green Paper) would actually be released yesterday.

Turns out, I was naïvely confident in the ability of the Review to deliver its report on time. That the fact they had received over 700 submissions would not phase them. That extending the Review would be too costly and unlikely to lead to better outcomes. Obviously, Kris had better insight than I did.

This is what the Minister had to say in a doorstop:
The Panel has been asked for a month's extension on that review, we've had over 700 submissions and the Panel is working through those submissions and I've granted that extension for a month.
So, Kris, strong flat white then?
