My question is to the minister representing the Minister for Industry, Science and Technology, Senator Seselja. The Liberal-National government has committed $1.5 billion to the Modern Manufacturing Strategy to assist Australian manufacturers across six national priority areas to scale up, improve competitiveness and build more resilient supply chains. Food and beverage is included as a national manufacturing priority, supporting our world-leading agricultural industries, and that's fantastic news. Can the minister advise what the strategy provides for our high-quality sustainable fibre industries, including forestry, wool and cotton?
