The Queensland government has fast-tracked delivery of a campaign promise to fund $30 million to upgrade shipping yards in the far north as part of its CCP virus economic recovery plan.

The funding will also help achieve the Royal Australian Navy’s goals of upgrading Cairns’ marine precinct to become a maintenance hub for its vessels, as Australia keeps watch on the Chinese communist regime increasing presence in the pacific.
