Abstract
In September 2022 the Australian Government announced plans to refresh Australia’s Science and Research Priorities and National Science Statement.
The ARC Review Panel will provide the Minister for Education with an Interim Report by 31 December 2022 and a Final Report by 31 March 2023.
The proposed review of science policy and priorities in Australia by Minister ED Husic is indeed welcome and long overdue. While the key points raised in the Minister’s Press Release are indeed important ones to start with, there are always areas that have been long overlooked as being significant to the nation that should be included in future science policy and funding decisions. Here I will address one area of concern and why it is vitally important to be included in any discussion of science policy in Australia.
