People everywhere use devices that were invented in Australia. When you prepare a meal in the home, take a flight in an aircraft, work in agriculture, have treatment in hospital, use a phone, drive a car or many other things, you partake of benefits created by Australians. They say give an Australian a piece of string or wire and there is no guessing what he/she will invent. Australian inventions, not only ease daily life in Australia: they are gifts to the whole world.

Gene Silencing Hairpin RNAi
CSIRO found a way of stopping particular genes from working in the 1990s. This has led to new cattle breeds, irradiation of pests and diseases, and the "blue" rose.

Landguard Pesticide Residue Treatment
There is danger of contamination from pesticides everywhere in the world. After-use residues and bi-products remain in soils. An enzyme based solution to the
problem was found by CSIRO in 2005. It markedly lowered organophosphate levels.
