Mrs Sophie Mirabella MP

Recent Speaker

Shadow Minister for Innovation, Industry and Science

September 14, 2011

11.30am - 1.30pm

“Manufacturing Matters – An Optimistic Future“

 

Manufacturing in Australia may be in its deepest crisis since the Great Depression but Sophie Mirabella believes the sector still has a positive future.

She also believes that most Australians want their governments to support our indigenous capacity to ‘make things’ in this country.

Sophie’s speech will focus on recent changes in Australia’s economy and polity that now pose enormous challenges to our trade exposed industries – and raise critical questions about the kind of economic future we want.

She will speak about these current and future challenges and provide an insight into the Coalition’s philosophy on this vital national debate.
