To FannyPhelan, I must take issue wrt the investment incentive of the Hawke/Keating government....I recollect this was manipulated to actually sit on worthwhile developments to ensure maximum return on the subsidy. It may have been a "Good Thing" with GA but general industry wide there were serious ripoffs by "investors" putting money into any R&D....provided it didn't make any money out of the development. Spend a $100 and get $150 back If the device wasn't going to return more than 50% on investment, it was sat on.
