Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the Australian Government to increase funding for the CSIRO and other research institutes (e.g. WEHI, Monash University) so that Australia may contribute more to society and lead the way in the field of scientific and technological advancements.
Our target is to have the Government put aside 3% of our GDP (the same target that the EU has proposed for themselves), a sum of AU$24.8 billion per year, towards scientific and technological research and development by the year 2010.
