Why this petition matters
Started by Anna Hickey-Moody
The Australian education minister has the power to veto Australian Research Council (ARC) recommendations to award research funding. These recommendations are the result of multiple peer reviews and expert assessments of national interest. In exercising ministerial discretion, the education minister does not have the support of a code of conduct or guiding principles.
Sign this petition to call for peak industry bodies and politicians to work together to develop a ministerial code of conduct for research approval that will inform and support the education minster's right to veto.
