Trans-Pacific Partnership

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (15:22): My question is for the Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, representing the Minister for Investment and Trade, about the Trans-Pacific Partnership. Is the minister aware of the news today that Democrat presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton is urging her government to put the brakes on the Trans-Pacific Partnership? Has the minister—

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: Had discussions with her?

The Hon. M.C. PARNELL: —been briefed on the Trans-Pacific Partnership and the potential impacts it would have on South Australian businesses and South Australian citizens?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:23): I thank the honourable member for his question, and I will refer that to the minister—the excellent minister, the former Liberal member, now minister—in another place and bring back a reply. I did note interjections that perhaps the minister has already had these discussions with Hillary Clinton and, given how well he is received right around the world in pushing the interests of South Australia, it is entirely possible.
