          <by role="member" id="3489">The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:53):</by>  I have a supplementary further to the minister's answer and given the fact that the Chinese are looking at over $200 million worth of baby formula milk processing opportunities in New Zealand. Has the minister and her department approached the Chinese authorities to see whether a baby milk formula processing plant could be established in South Australia to help dairy farmers?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:53):</by>  The honourable member will be pleased to know that during my last visit we promoted a wide range of South Australian primary products, including dairy. We took a presentation with us that outlined the potential for our dairy industry. We did not talk about specific products per se, but we certainly indicated that we had a vast potential in terms of dairy products, beef, wheat and sheep. As I said, we promoted very strongly all of our major primary producers, fisheries and aquaculture. As I said, we put forward a presentation that really did very much show the potential for South Australia. What we were doing was putting out where opportunities were and trying to attract interest. I am returning to China early this year and we will be again picking up on those relationships that we commenced and working to generate as much interest as we possibly can.</text>
