Message from the Premier
Smart people plus smart ideas equal a Smart State.
That’s what we’re building here in Queensland: a state where innovation, talent, and lateral thinking combine with research and development for world-class successes in a range of fields.
You’ll read about some of those successes in this issue of Catalyst.
There are stories about a new pearl industry in Hervey Bay, research into an innovative method of improving airport security, the work of a group of scientists gathering in Queensland to study climate change and the importance of bananas at home and abroad.
I hope you’ll find this issue of Catalyst interesting and informative.
Peter Beattie MP
Premier and Minister for Trade
