Labor senator Kim Carr has claimed that Australia’s industry-led Growth Centres programme, a $160-million federal research initiative, is not providing value for money and could be dumped by a Labor government.

The event was launched by Karen Andrews, the federal minister for industry, science and technology, who announced an additional $60m for the programme.
