Andrew Wilkie: What’s the government doing to arrest the decline in Forestry expertise?
The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has asked the Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne, the following question in Federal Parliament.
“Australia has been an international exporter of forestry knowledge and innovation for decades.
“But, with the finalisation of forestry CRCs and the imminent end to the National Centre for Future Forest Industries at the University of Tasmania, Australia’s research and development capacity is fast disappearing.
“What’s the government doing to arrest this decline and to retain forestry expertise in Australia?”
