The New Inventors is an Australian television show, broadcast on the ABC. The program is hosted by broadcaster and comedian James O'Loghlin and is centred on presenting three Australian inventions to join the ranks of the hills hoist and the Facsimile machine in Australia's hall of fame of home-grown inventions.
Each invention is given time to present its use, economic viability, purpose and niche. The inventors are then queried by the panel of judges, who vary, and at the end of the show they pick a winner. The Public also can SMS vote for their favourite. At the end of the season, a Peoples' choice and Judges' choice is picked as the 'Inventor of the Year.'
The program has been hailed as a way for Australian inventions to gain publicity and gain entrance into the mass market.
