In its 2007 election manifesto, the ALP stated that it would establish a $150 million Energy Innovation Fund "to keep our world leading scientists and researchers in Australia, rather than losing them overseas."[1]
In mid November 2007 Labor leader Kevin Rudd detailed that his government would provide $90 million over the first three years. In its costings, the ALP stated that the government would contribute $24 million, $30 million and $36 million in 2008-2009 through to 2010-2011.[2]
