Now here’s an idea that raises the phrase ‘investment opportunity’ by a couple octaves — purchase a stake in the career of an indie music artist. In exchange for your largess, you’ll gain a say in marketing and producing the singer. You can even pitch them a song.
The Commercialisation Australia program, the successor to the Government’s COMET scheme, has proved a boon to many but a bane to others. Inevitably it was going to have a few teething problems. As with any new incentive program, it can involve navigating the industry-specific details to work out whether it’s right for your business. Here, Adrian Spencer explains the pros and cons that the grant can have for the technology sector.

Following our recent series of articles on innovation in Australia (our Australia Day series), we received the following note from the Office of Senator Kim Carr, Australia’s Innovation Minister. We were expecting a dressing down. Here’s what we got instead.

Last week, I was fortunate to be among a small group of people who attended Anthill’s Grant Funding by Design Masterclass, in partnership with Design Victoria. In addition to providing an extremely candid explanation of what grant assessors are looking for, AusIndustry’s Samara Fitzgerald-Gelnay provided an extremely helpful document on the programs and grants available to growing, innovative Australian businesses through AusIndustry.
In a first move by an Australian government, the Victorian parliament has adopted Creative Commons (CC) licensing as its default licensing system for access to public sector information (PSI).
I can never figure out if that Dire Straits song goes “money for nothing and your chicks for free” or “money for nothing and your cheques for free”.
Let’s stick with cheques for this post, because everyone knows you don’t get chicks for free unless you play the guitar on the MTV. Plus, getting cheques for free is in context with what I want to talk about.
Plans by Silex Systems Limited to buy the assets of Solar Systems, the Melbourne-based solar energy company that was placed into administration last September, injects life into a cherished plan, but uncertainty persists. Government support is in the offing and, worse for engineers, the technology remains unproven at utility scale.
We’ve all seen the “Hitler loses it” mashups, where aspiring Spielbergs have taken the now famous bunker scene from Downfall and replaced the sub-titles. In fact, it’s fast becoming a new benchmark for popular culture.
If your ‘issue’ hasn’t been expropriated by Hitler yet it can’t be that big a deal. That’s why we were pleased to discover this clip by YouTuber BleakIsolationist. Okay, it’s not as funny as Hitler’s Alan Didak eruption or [insert favourite here] but in the context of Anthill it is topical.

Our ‘secret-squirrels’ have revealed to Anthill that the seven board positions, appointed to analyse and approve Commercialisation Australia funding applications, have been filled and that an announcement is imminent. No-one knows who will be among this ‘magnicifent seven’ other than those appointed or involved in the decision. In fact, it is a complete mystery to external observers how these important functionaries were selected. Was there some sort of process behind closed doors? Were they vetted?
