Dear Cathryn,

This week we are publishing the results of the STA Federal Election Survey, which was completed by the Coalition, Labor and the Greens. You have exclusive access to their full responses<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/MX3_ClxwB5C4DWZ7HyqU1M?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com> and our one-page summary<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/RmGHCmOxDQt4GVn2H9oul2?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com> (please note that these should not be made public until 5am tomorrow 8 May).

We would greatly appreciate any assistance your organisation can lend to spread the word about the results of this survey once it has been published at 5am tomorrow. Please utilise social media, newsletters, and other correspondence to get your members accessing and sharing these important materials.

Below you'll find some updates on election activity relevant to STEM, and on our website<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/X0trCnxyErCBQ4o5imI-pe?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com> (accessible by logging on to our members' section) you'll find a summary of all the updates we've collected over the last few weeks of the campaign.

Our next Solve it with Science feature is also online, this time highlighting an Australian business doing innovative 3D printing (Twitter<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/qwryCoVzGQiWJAz4CoScN-?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com>, Facebook<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/KQaJCp8AJQt6Pg8Dt7O8C4?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com>, LinkedIn<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/tYUHCq7BKYtwGg5WSvzB0K?domain=scienceandtechnologyaustralia.us9.list-manage.com>). New case studies will be released each week, shared online using #SolveitwithScience.
