MSI portfolio - looking like the best game in town
MSI portfolio - looking like the best ministerial game in town
By Peter Kerr for sticK
(sticK - 28 July 2011 ) But wait….there's more.
No, there's not three but five current National MPs putting themselves forward as Minister of Science and Innovation after Wayne Mapp retires in November.
Perhaps the magic word's innovation, plus the fact that the hard yards have been done as far as reform of the sector is concerned.
Whatever, it's great news for the sector that some high quality people are putting their names forward and that it is a sought after position.
