With an election in the wind I wonder who is in charge of going to the various parties and asking for more money for astronomy stuff?

Australia seems to have a high participation in many projects but is anything going unattended because of political blindness?

I guess the question is best put..who in Australia drives the process and are they happy with the funds set aside for Australian Astronomy.

AND given the rules I will understand if this gets closed ..it is just a thought not leading to something more sinister...but I must say I have never thought about how research for stuff gets off the ground.
