@renailemay @DDsD @heosat Maybe that’s why I’m disappointed. It doesn’t seem joined up.
@renailemay @DDsD @heosat I’m not against the policy, I just don’t think it’s that special.
Look, you special little snowflakes, if your “idea” is really that fuckin’ wonderful there’ll be investors lining up to give you money.

“Innovation statement: Malcolm Turnbull takes risks”, writes @latingle afr.com/news/politics/…
Column filed for @zdnetaustralia. It contains the words “nimble” and “cyber”, amongst others.
A “National Innovation and Scienec [sic] Agenda Report” has been added to the AU govt’s innovation website. innovation.gov.au/system/files/c… (PDF)
0x1C We can’t be cynical, #ideasboom is a fantastic concept to advance .au tech.

“[The CSGC] is the first initiative to be delivered under the Government’s Cyber Security Strategy, which will be released in 2016.”
The new Cyber Security Growth Centre will get $30 million over four years. innovation.gov.au/page/cyber-sec… That’ll get you around 30 infosec pros.

Right, well now that I’ve finally got the National Innovation & Science Agenda is a useful form, I can start reading it.
What?
Malcolm is now leaving us to study Christopher’s package.
@MsLods Even more useful, one PDF file. stilgherrian.com/wp-content/upl…

FFS, this policy is spread over 29 separate “fact sheets” that have to be downloaded individually. innovation.gov.au/content/fact_s…
BernardKeane I like this idea of a permanent boom. This has been the problem with previous booms and their tendency to end. Why did no one think of that?
Pollytics It’s all starting to sound a bit cult like. There’s no big cordial dispenser at the Turnbull innovation launch is there?

The ABC’s TV link to the CSIRO has fallen over. @ABCNews24 abandons the PM’s presentation.
There’s an @IdeasBoomAu Twitter account, but it’s locked, at least for now.

@havyatt @R_Chirgwin Thanks. I have since seen an ABC yarn which says it’s at 1230.

Also seen this morning, the usual group of crimson rosellas, our new friend the young kookaburra, and various honeyeaters.
They seem to have decided that they’re a couple, and that this is their patch. Further up the hill than the rest of their clan.
There’s no way I can get a photo, but there’s also a young pair of yellow-tailed black cockatoos about 10m from the house.
