As part of its response to the Victorian fires of early 2009 the
Senate passed a resolution on 11 February 2009 that highly
supported the work of the Bushfire CRC. It read:
The resolution of the Senate:
(a) Notes
the extensive and internationally-recognised work of the Bushfire
CRC; and
(b) Recommends the Government assess the value of upgrading the
Centre to be a global wildfire research facility.
Also, the CRC Program newsletter, Success Through Innovation, has a foreword by
Senator Kim Carr, Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and
Research, that highlights the work of the Bushfire CRC, in
particular, with reference to the work of the Research Taskforce
after the fires.
