1370 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (11 September 2019). How many small businesses in South Australia have exported goods and services overseas over the past 12 months?

The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley—Minister for Innovation and Skills): The Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment has advised the following:

In the 2017-18 release (released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on 21 August 2019), the state level breakdown of this data is no longer available. As such, it is no longer possible to provide South Australian specific data at the small business exporter level.

The Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment has consulted with the ABS and is advised that it does not have plans to release this data at the state level.
