We had a review of the trade offices, the Hartley Review, in 2012, I think it was. The Hartley review recommended concentrating our efforts in the two major markets and in fact our major trading partner, China. It recommended concentrating on China and India, two of the biggest markets in the world, concentrating our resources into those economies to get them right, and then look for other markets.</text>
        <text id="201311264e40ccc517864c6eb0000718">Let's not fall into the South Australian trap of trying to be a little bit to every person, and try to do something well in a concentrated fashion, to spend a lot of time and effort, as we have, on developing a China/India strategy and engage in a meaningful and developed way with those countries before we do exactly the same thing into South-East Asia, or wherever else we may choose to do that.</text>
