Thank you for the copy of the Productivity Commission Draft Research Report on Public Support from Science and Innovation.

Apart from endorsing the findings in favour of public funding support for science and innovation, not reducing the current real level of public appropriation funding for CSIRO and removal of impediments to innovation, Mineral Resources Tasmania has no comment to make on the Report.
