If we want a future made in Australia, we will have to vote for it at the next federal election says Senator Tim Ayres, the newly appointed Assistant Minister for the Future Made in Australia (FMiA) mission, and to some, it’s new great white hope.

“Only the Albanese government sees Australia’s potential to be more than a farm, a quarry and a nice place to visit; to become a clean manufacturing powerhouse,” Senator Ayres told a diverse gathering of deep tech entrepreneurs, researchers and innovation policy experts at last week’s InnnovationAus.com Industry Papers forum in Canberra.

“It’s a whole of country effort and if we want a future made in Australia we are going to have to work hard for it. And the truth is, in the first half of next year you are going to have to vote for it,” he said.
