I thank the member for some notice of this question. This is actually quite a long answer, part of which is in tabular form. I seek leave to have the answer tabled and incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 2451.] The following material was incorporated — Answer I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. 1. In 2007/08 the previous Government allocated $4.17 million over three years to the implementation of the Western Australian Biotechnology Industry Development Strategy. To 30 June 2010 the following has been spent on the implementation of the Strategy: Key Action/Project from Strategy Expenditure Funding the Biotechnology Pipeline — Innovation to Commercialisation Narrowing the gap in funding for early stage commercialisation of new biotechnology products and discoveries $565,000 Biodiscovery Promoting a biodiscovery industry based on Western Australia’s native terrestrial and marine biota $8,880 Infrastructure Building critical mass: assessing and addressing gaps in physical infrastructure requirements $113,250 Think Global, Act Local — Collaboration Strengthening collaboration with international, national and local biotechnology research and industry groups to build relationships and facilitate partnerships $84,300 Skilling Biotechnology — Innovation to Commercialisation Facilitating skills development for the Western Australian biotechnology industry $317,637 Promoting Western Australia Raising the international and national profile of Western Australia’s biotechnology industry to promote Western Australia’s capabilities $265,953 International Linkages Facilitating linkages between Western Australian biotechnology companies and international markets $464,700 $1,819,720 $1 million of the Western Australian Biotechnology Industry Development Strategy implementation funding was re-allocated in May 2009 to the Square Kilometre Array project. Therefore the revised total Western Australian Biotechnology Industry Development Strategy implementation budget is $3.17m. 2. The Government has allocated $175,000 funding in the 2010/11 Budget as follows: Key Action/Project from Strategy $50,000 Funding the Biotechnology Pipeline — Innovation to Commercialisation Narrowing the gap in funding for early stage commercialisation of new biotechnology products and discoveries $50,000 Skilling Biotechnology — Innovation to Commercialisation Facilitating skills development for the Western Australian biotechnology industry $125,000

To 30 June 2010 the following has been spent on the implementation of the Strategy: Key Action/Project from Strategy Expenditure Funding the Biotechnology Pipeline — Innovation to Commercialisation Narrowing the gap in funding for early stage commercialisation of new biotechnology products and discoveries $565,000 Biodiscovery Promoting a biodiscovery industry based on Western Australia’s native terrestrial and marine biota $8,880 Infrastructure Building critical mass: assessing and addressing gaps in physical infrastructure requirements $113,250 Think Global, Act Local — Collaboration Strengthening collaboration with international, national and local biotechnology research and industry groups to build relationships and facilitate partnerships $84,300 Skilling Biotechnology — Innovation to Commercialisation Facilitating skills development for the Western Australian biotechnology industry $317,637 Promoting Western Australia Raising the international and national profile of Western Australia’s biotechnology industry to promote Western Australia’s capabilities $265,953 International Linkages Facilitating linkages between Western Australian biotechnology companies and international markets $464,700 $1,819,720 $1 million of the Western Australian Biotechnology Industry Development Strategy implementation funding was re-allocated in May 2009 to the Square Kilometre Array project. Therefore the revised total Western Australian Biotechnology Industry Development Strategy implementation budget is $3.17m. 2. The Government has allocated $175,000 funding in the 2010/11 Budget as follows: Key Action/Project from Strategy $50,000 Funding the Biotechnology Pipeline — Innovation to Commercialisation Narrowing the gap in funding for early stage commercialisation of new biotechnology products and discoveries $50,000 Skilling Biotechnology — Innovation to Commercialisation Facilitating skills development for the Western Australian biotechnology industry $125,000
