<biogHist>
<abstract>The Australia Prize was awarded annually by the Australian Government between 1990 and 1999 to recognise outstanding achievement in a selected area of science and technology promoting human welfare. Those areas included energy science and technology, molecular science, telecommunications, remote sensing, and physical sciences relating to mining or minerals processing. It was awarded to both Australian and international researchers. In 2000 it was replaced by the Prime Minister's Prizes for science.</abstract>
