Draft Government White Paper Due End of October

In what could be good news or bad news depending upon your stance on the Venturous Australia Report (Cutler Review), the word is that an interdepartmental committee has been formed to respond to provide a draft White Paper by the end of October.

This makes the timeline for policy dialogue very short. The Venturous Australia Report has a feedback timeline to 30 September and the proposals in the report, such as R&D tax credit changes, patent law changes and grants, as well as higher education and research policies, all deserve considered feedback from the stakeholders in the National Innovation System.

Get going, get active, and submit to goverment on your reaction to the Venturous Australia Report.
