<span style="font-size: 14px;">Science Meets Parliament continued with a rich day of presentations and panel discussions, the National Press Club Address with the Minister for Science, Senator the Hon Tim Ayres. He told us he is ambitious for reform and is
looking for a whole-of-government response to Ambitious Australia. We are looking forward to working with the Government to make the most of this opportunity.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 14px;">That evening we heard from the Shadow Minister Aaron Violi MP who spoke of his aspirations, including the need for Australian R&D to solve Australian challenges. He spoke of the value of science in the good and hard times, reflecting
on an amazing Swinburne University trained female chemical engineer who helped to address paper supply chain issues during World War 2, and knows that she will be looking down proudly at her grandson who is now the Shadow Minister for Science.</span></div>
