With disruptions in international supply chains for essential products (like medical equipment and supplies) disrupted in the current COVID pandemic, Australians have a new appreciation for the importance of retaining a flexible, high-quality, domestic manufacturing capacity. And the ongoing transformation of Australia's energy industry, with rapid expansion of renewable energy sources, would add momentum to the renaissance of Australian manufacturing.

That is the conclusion of a new study written by Dan Nahum, Economist at the Centre for Future Work.

COVID-19 really put a spot light on this topic and so Sarah with Co-Worker Rae Cooper wrote the below article for the Sydney Morning Herald. I was so pleased that Sarah was able to join the Amy Ask's Podcast.
