In the land of cultural cringe, tall poppy syndrome and denialist mainstream media, we’re told our (economic) future will suffer if we don’t innovate new products, especially for export to help developing countries.

They say government can’t be seen to be picking winners when offering funding. Time to get writing so taxpayers aren’t losers.
