Our government is recognising the great value of Australia's space sector. Recently, the Morrison government announced the recipients of the Moon to Mars supply chain capability improvement grants, and I was proud to see local Tingalpa business Crystalaid awarded over $538,000 in funding. This was on top of the $461,000 awarded to them earlier this year as part of the second round of this grants program, skyrocketing the total funding for this local business to $1 million. This funding will allow Crystalaid to bring more employees on board and deliver more opportunities for their skilled workers. It will enhance their ability to supply cutting-edge electronics to the international space industry and will see Crystalaid used in satellite electronic systems across the globe.
It's been a privilege to witness Crystalaid's rapid growth over the years, and I couldn't be prouder of their ongoing success. Mr Speaker, we've got lift-off in Bonner!
