Wi-fi, Gardasil and modern solar cells—these are all things that are critical and important innovations from Australia. But too often the benefit and the uplift from critical innovations like this, whether in terms of the economy or of jobs, are not fully realised. That's why I'm delighted to be able to stand today to speak to you about MOBIUS. MOBIUS is a great project in the heart of my electorate of Moreton on Brisbane's south side. It's a project that is being fostered at Griffith University. And Griffith isn't just a university; it is a leader when it comes to innovation.

This project advances Australia's biosensing sector. Traditionally focused on health care, it expands that into new domains, and it marks a landmark for Australia's science and innovation, bridging that critical gap between university research and industry application so that what we think about and what we come up with in our universities can truly benefit our communities with secure work.

This project brings together 21 industry partners—collaborations across different universities, from Griffith to La Trobe to RMIT—and brings in the critical work of the Australian Research Council to make sure that when we come up with things in universities they have a true impact in our community every day through critical jobs.
