🚨🚨🚨 IT’S DONE! ❗️The ARC Review Response Bill just passed parliament❗️ No more political interference in individual ARC grants! The ARC will get a Board, who will approve individual grants. It’s a wonderful day for Australian research!

A huge thanks to the Minister Jason Clare for taking the #ARCreview seriously and putting its recommendations into legislation. Massive credit & thanks to Senator Mehreen Faruqi for initiating the 2018 Senate enquiry that set parliament on this course, & for pushing it so hard.
