FOOD AND WINE EXPORTS

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): I have a supplementary question. Is there construction required in China and Fujian Province by locals before the safe food centres are constructed and then opened?

The Hon. G.E. 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) (15:07): The question doesn't make sense to me at all. What we have said is that they are building tourism promotional food and wine hubs; work on one of those has commenced already. There are quality assurance retail centres, and building hasn't commenced on those, but certainly work has been well advanced in a commitment to progress with them.
