Or put another way … 

The rising challenge for Australians in this fiercely competitive, specialist outsourcing world, is to imagine and achieve an even greater productive whole. In theory and practice, Australians need to bring together knowledge across the many sciences and sociologies to enhance our particular skills, cultures and great but finite resources. A parallel test is to stop deluding ourselves on difficult issues. For instance, about impacts of regulation on different types of innovation and enterprise. Or, that the amount of money injected is the same as ensuring Australia’s research investment secures advances on multiple fronts.

Much of Australia’s public research funding is directed into universities by requirement. Our universities should be leading at the integrated, efficient, impactful research front-line. Maybe now they also need to move over a bit and allow innovative others to emerge and run on the (level?) playing field.’ Dr Sandra J Welsman – from a letter published in The Australian, Higher Education, 5 May 2004
