Today we welcome Micro-X, an innovative high-tech business operating out of the Tonsley innovation precinct, to Parliament House, as part of the inaugural Australian Sovereign Capability Showcase. Micro-X is a global leader in medical and security imaging products based on miniaturised X-ray technology, and they are making a huge positive contribution to those defending Ukraine against Russia's illegal and immoral invasion.

Micro-X have supplied 11 of their Rover Mobile X-ray imaging systems, designed and built in Boothby, to Ukraine, and, according to a frontline anaesthetist, a single Micro-X Rover unit had taken more than 6,000 images in 45 days, with a peak 401 images in a single day. This anaesthetist said that this single mobile X-ray unit had saved several thousand Ukrainian lives. You can well imagine the benefit of 11 Rover X-ray machines to Ukraine's war effort.

Micro-X's Rover Mobile X-ray units are just one example of the ingenuity of Micro-X and so many other businesses operating in Boothby. Micro-X and the Tonsley innovation precinct are at the forefront of advanced manufacturing in Australia, thanks to the Albanese government. I commend their efforts and commit to working with them to see their work expanded to more who would benefit from it.

In accordance with standing order 43, the time for members' statements has concluded.
