Space Industry Association chief executive James Brown said that Australia cannot let the opportunity to put another Australian into space "pass us by".

"Just because a former government … has decided to do something, doesn’t mean I automatically, or us as a government, automatically takes that on board — in some cases, we’ll make those assessments case-by-case," Mr Husic told the Press Club.
Australian Strategic Policy Institute's space policy expert, Malcolm Davis, said industry concerns about a lack of focus on the area were justified.
