R&D Tax Incentives are pretty much the only thing the Australian Government offers - http://www.business.gov.au/grants-and-assistance/innovation-...

Massacring the NBN and generally not giving a shit about technology really highlights how out of touch the Australian Government is with the general population. We are among the highest adoption rates for technology (smartphones etc.) worldwide and give a huge amount of money to US companies getting a hold of the latest tech.

Our government is ready to completely ream us once more by signing the TPP - despite the fact the US has clauses for things like "fair use" nothing of that nature exists in Australian law. We'll just adopt the shitty parts of US law and none of the (partially) redeeming parts.
