Significant thanks for removing the veto power must go to Senator Dr. Mehreen Faruqi, who first introduced a Bill to do it back in 2018.

This led to a parliamentary enquiry which led, in no small part, to the #ARCreview which recommended removing the veto.

Thanks, Senator!👏

Attached: 1 image It's happening, people! There'll be an ARC Board, & it will approve grants, not the Minister! ❗️That's right: No more Ministerial vetos❗️* Finally, less politics in research grants! 🥳 (* Presumably there'll be space for national security-based vetos in the final legislation)
