Thank you, Mr Speaker. As I was saying, we're taking a two-part approach. We're having discussions with Moderna, who manufacture one of only two approved mRNA products in the world. I've personally spoken with the head of Moderna in Australia and the chief executive globally. Secondly, we approached the market for proposals from industry and are asking what support they would need from government. We're working through that process thoroughly now.

This is important for Australia, it's important for manufacturing and it's an important part of ensuring that we can control our own destiny. We're getting on with the job.
