Surroundings and Water Minister Tanya Plibersek has introduced an additional $163 million to go in direction of the Australian Institute for Marine Science in Townsville.
“In Townsville, they’d a complete wing of laboratories closed as a result of the equipment is old-fashioned, there’s mildew within the roof and the workplaces aren’t secure for our scientists to make use of,” Ms Plibersek mentioned throughout Query Time on Tuesday.
“This can create 100 further jobs in Townsville.”
