The Treasurer is talking about EBP. If the talk turns into action, then he is to
be applauded.
Between 2018 and 2022, a small team under the leadership of
Percy Allan AM ran a research project benchmarking 100 legislative initiatives
from the Commonwealth and three states using the “Wiltshire Criteria” to
determine EBP quality. Of these case studies, only 32% achieved a solid process
ranking, and 25% achieved a below-par ranking – the balance rated mediocre.
Media, non-government politicians and the general public
should all demand high-quality, evidence bases for all government initiatives
from the Commonwealth and the states.https://evidencebasedpolicy.org.au/

Sydney-based AgTech startup LLEAF (luminescent light emitting agricultural film) has opened
its first solar laboratory in Mona Vale.
LLEAF specialises in
the development of light spectrum shifting dyes to create colour
conversion films. The films are used in greenhouses, and effectively
behave as an additional light to help plants produce cellular energy.
The technology allows crops to be grown in challenging environments, and improves yields by up to 20 per cent. The facility includes isolated chambers with high temperature plasma lamps enabling the testing of real-world conditions and to deliver forecasts to yields for customers.https://www.innovationaus.com/sun-shifting-startup-lleaf-opens-vast-new-sydney-laboratory/
