November 2020 marks the release of the State of the Climate report. This report is a synthesis of the science informing our understanding of climate in Australia and includes new information about Australia’s climate of the past, present and future.
Industry 4.0 will be an enabler for the re-shoring of Australian manufacturing in a way that is cost effective and globally competitive.

This is where Australia has an opportunity to make the most of technology transfer from the mining sector to our manufacturing sector.
