          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:30):</by>  There are only two and they are not so much units or programs but the Investment Attraction Board members were advised that their terms would finish on 1 July or 30 June, and also the Health Industries Board the same. They are the only two that we have advised will not be continuing.</text>
        <text id="20180703d61c8fb6ac7e473690000297">As to the others, at this stage we are still going through the processes. We are implementing our election commitments which, of course, the members opposite would be aware of: five new trade offices, sporting international education, the entrepreneur visas, the international student hub—there is a whole range of things that we are working through with the department to implement. However, at this point in time we are still negotiating the actual outcome or the way they will take place. As to the entrepreneur visas, we are still in negotiations with the Department of Home Affairs federally for the actual mechanism that will work. That is a pilot program that we are very much looking forward to implementing.</text>
