Senate Matters of Public Importance - Space Industry

The matter of public importance for discussion in this video, as proposed by Senator the Honourable David Fawcett, was:
"Labor's decision to keep Australian taxpayers and the United States in the dark about the axing of the $1.2 billion National Space Mission for Earth Observation program demonstrates yet another failure of transparency and that they do not comprehend the important role our space industry plays in Australia's scientific, economic and diplomatic future."
