Demonstrating commendable modesty, the prime minister announced Saturday morning $70m in funding for the Perth based Pawsey SuperComputing Centre. It is part of a bucket of infrastructure money for WA, undoubtedly awarded according to the highest policy principles. Pawsey will use the money to replace two supercomputers, one of which supports the Square Kilometre Array. The funding matches money provided to the National Computational Infrastructure in December.
