LA RÉUNION

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (14:49): My question is again to the Premier. How much taxpayers' money has been spent and committed in preparing for and executing the special relationship? Does it include a trade agreement with La Réunion, and what are the expected benefits? The ABS indicates that South Australia is not exporting anything to La Réunion and has not for at least 11 years.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:49): I understand that the French government has paid for the visit here, not the South Australian government.
