Parliamentary Secretary for Science
December 12, 2016
In December 2015, I was named the Parliamentary Secretary for Science, working with Minister Kirsty Duncan. Some of our key focuses are:
- Unmuzzling Scientists: Ensuring federal scientists can speak freely, provide data, and report evidence.
- A Ban on Asbestos: Developing new regulations to prohibit asbestos and products containing asbestos.
- Creating the role of Chief Science Advisor: Bringing evidence-based decision making back by providing scientific advice to Government.
- More Women in STEM: Providing new support for women looking to pursue careers in STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering, Math) professions.
