My question is once again to the Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research, Senator Carr. Is the minister aware that Energy Australia, a company owned by the New South Wales Labor government, has decided to close its productivity testing and compliance division, known as Testing and Certification Australia? Is the minister also aware of the national significance—that this is the only facility in Australia that can test and certify electronic medical devices to the appropriate international standards?
