Broadcaster Luke Grant says it is “wonderful” coronavirus vaccines will be produced in Australia and hopes it will restart the manufacturing industry.

“How wonderful that we’ve got actually got the medicine, the vaccine, produced in this country, forever and a day we’ve been saying ‘we don’t make anything anymore we buy it all from overseas’,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.

Mr Grant said this could be what restarts Australia’s future as a manufacturer, as Australia has high quality product and the platform to demonstrate it.

“Maybe out of all of this, a glimpse into our manufacturing future.”
