It’s not just appointments ministers hope happen before caretaker kicks in

Word is Cooperative Research Centre Round 23 grants are decided. This is quick-smart indeed, the six shortlisted bid teams were only interviewed last week.

The six are * Care Economy * Sovereign Manufacturing Automation * Intelligent Manufacturing *  Antimicrobial Resistance * ONE Basin (as in Murray-Darling)  and * Plastic Waste

Four of them are said to be funded.
