Made in Australia Act</span></a></span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">. This proposal has the potential to spur investment in clean energy technologies and secure economic benefits from the opportunities arising from
the clean energy transformation. However, getting there will require significant, strategic investments in R&D and innovation, so we again reinforced the crucial importance of a pathway to lift national R&D investment to 3% of GDP.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been delighted to provide communications support to our member organisation, the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Mathematics Alliance
(ATSIMA), led by Quandamooka mathematician Professor Chris Matthews. ATSIMA and the Australian Association of Mathematics Teachers (AAMT) recently convened the National Summit on Indigenous Students and Mathematics Education in Adelaide. The Summit brought
together the country’s education leaders to develop a commitment statement to hold education systems accountable for the mathematics outcomes of Indigenous students and put together an action plan to drive meaningful change to close the gap in maths education
achievement between Indigenous and non-Indigenous students. We applaud the outstanding leadership shown by ATSIMA and AAMT in convening the event to address this pressing problem, and it was terrific to see the Summit covered by ABC News Breakfast,
