Port Douglas

Sometimes there is a build up of advocacy groups in the one space, such as Innovate Australia, Australian Innovation, Australian Science and Innovations and even the Knowledge Council of Australia. There are probably a dozen more ‘innovations’, but I can’t be arsed Googling them. As an aside, one strange thing is that not one of these organizations has the first clue about innovation.

In Monty Python’s ‘The Life of Brian’ they introduced the Judean’s People Front, the People’s Front of Juedea and even the Judean’s Popular People’s Front. This has been going for a while now!

These clutches of Advocacy Groups either totally ignore each other because they are competing for the same government handouts, or figure out how to collectively conn even more money off the government to build, say, a Council of Australian Innovations Councils, which then goes on to host an annual innovation summit in Port Douglas at tax-payers’ expense.
