My question is to the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Carr. I refer to the 2010 world science report of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation, released this month. Can the minister inform the Senate what he has done since he came to office to address the decline in both industry competitiveness and government support for innovation, which the report notes occurred in the early 2000s? Can the minister inform the Senate on the progress of the significant reforms since 2007 alluded to in the report?
