The government introduced the Australia’s Economic Accelerator Bill (that’s the research commercialisation plan) into the Reps yesterday

It’s a fast start for a policy announced a fortnight back (CMM February 3) however the Leader of the House will have to go fast.

Parliament is back for the budget at the end of March and the Reps then return for the week of April 11. After that it’s all election, while parliament is scheduled to sit w/cs May 9 and 16, we must go to the polls by May 21.

And even if the bill passes the Reps,  it will come to a screeching halt, the Senate is only scheduled to sit for the budget before June.

So it will be up to the next government to start again, or not.
