It’s been…

• 26 months since Kevin ‘07 was handed the Prime Ministerial baton;
• 25 months since Senator Kim Carr announced his Review of the National Innovation System;
• 21 months since Commercial Ready was ‘axed’;
• 17 months since Terry Cutler handed down the outcomes of Venturous Australia;
• three months since the recommendations of the report found some semblance of form in Commercialisation Australia;
• two months since most of learned that COMET would be wound up by 31 December 2009; and,
