<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">We urge that our system be consistent with world’s best practice, where expertise in both conducting research, and evaluating which research to support, is essential. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">This provides confidence to the community that pays for it, the politicians who prioritise it, and the researchers who conduct it, ensuring that the outcomes of our
research support a culturally rich, economically prosperous and secure Australia. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">Through the Australian Research Council (ARC), grants are awarded to our best researchers and are assessed by national and international experts. Acting Minister for
Education and Youth, <strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Stuart Robert MP</span></strong>, recently exercised his veto power to reject six projects recommended for funding by the ARC. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">When the integrity of Australia’s research system is compromised by perceived, or actual, political interference, there are real costs to the research sector and indeed
the nation – as trust is eroded and the relationships researchers have with industry, the Australian community, and international partners are damaged. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">Australia’s research system must be responsive to national priorities, with strong governance and innovative and responsive funding schemes. Arbitrary judgements should
play no part in a fit-for-purpose system. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">We believe there is a strong national interest in a constructive relationship between the government of the day and the research sector. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
