Senator Carr National Press Club Address

There is little to report after Senator Carr's National Press Club address. Aside from some interesting announcements, principally of interest to the humanities, arts and social sciences fraternities, it was sadly lacking detail on the National Innovation System Review.

He was unable to provide an update on when the Green Paper would be released, or what the initial reaction was.

In answering questions he made the point that the revenue foregone under the R&D tax concession amounts to a sum greater than that that allocated by the ARC, but that is not really news, nor really fair as the amount foregone is only a small fraction of the amount actually invested by corporates.

It is a matter, still, of "watch this space".
