Below is a
listing of lobby groups and Members of Federal Parliament whom you may wish to contact in order to
make your views known with regard to the importance of adequately supporting
research and education. With rare exceptions a single individual's opinion
carries little weight with the powers that be. But stated often enough by a
number of people - something useful may be accomplished.
Lobby Groups
The Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological
Societies (FASTS) is the most inclusive lobby group.
