On behalf of the coalition I join in extending congratulations to all of the winners of the Prime Minister's Prizes for Science last night. As the Prime Minister and the minister have rightly said, these awards have been running for 25 years, with strong bipartisan support under prime ministers from both major political parties. I have no doubt that a future prime minister Dutton would similarly be strongly supportive of and committed to science. I congratulate Professor Matthew Bailes, Professor Andrew Wilks, Dr Chris Burns, Professor Regli-von Ungern-Sternberg, Professor Tianyi Ma and the science teaching recipients Daniel Edwards and Alice Leung, and I particularly call out Dr Andrew Horsley of Quantum Brilliance and say how great it is to see an Australian quantum company getting recognised.
