MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:28):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. There are quite a number of elements of the Northern Economic Plan. There is the small business grants area that minister Hamilton Smith—my good friend and a fantastic small business minister—is rolling out. He is a great egg and a great advocate for South Australia.</text>

As the Hon. John Dawkins compliments that good egg and great advocate for South Australia, the Hon. Martin Hamilton-Smith, he is at the moment in China, selling South Australia to the rest of the world. I thank the Hon. John Dawkins for reminding me of the fantastic work that the Minister for Small Business and Trade is doing. I will find out about those Job Accelerator Grants and bring back just how well they are going and the jobs that that element is creating.</text>
