    Reasonable theory, but ‘most of the money’? The LSAC will cost $20.2 million over 9 years. That’s about the cheapest government program I’ve ever heard of. If they were interested in the topic, there’s still plenty in the early childhood kitty.

    Andrew, I thought that readers might be interested in a CSIRO Senior Economist job in Canberra, in the Land and Water Division:

    The job looks very interesting and the pay is pretty nice ($99k – $149k p/a) too!
