Thank you to Ms Zhang for her inormative brief history, but I would like to correct for the record the statement, “EIA also initiated the Federal Government’s ‘Electronics Industry Action Agenda’ (2003), which described growth in the electronics industry, nationally as “lacklustre”, but noted that the industry in South Australia “ . . . has been growing at 15-20 per cent per annum.”

The submitted correction is, ” Inspired by EIA’s Five Year Electronics Industry Strategy Plan championed by then EIA CEO, Peter Hamilton, the then Australian Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers’ Association (AEEMA) initiated and implemented the Australian Government’s Electronic Industry Action Agenda over the period 2003-2008. EIA was an active participant by contributing to the South Australian part of the national Electronics Industry Capability Study and being represented on the Strategic Leaders Group by Anthony Kittel of Redarc and EIA’s CEO, Greg Bassani.”

Angus M Robinson, former CEO of AEEMA (and then Director of AiG consolidation), 2000 to 2008.
