          <by role="member" id="5244">The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:44):</by>  A supplementary based on the original answer: what steps has the minister taken in regard to an email sent to him by the consultancy Sinosphere Australia, specifically Mr Anthony Coles, in regard to the China strategy just outlined by the honourable minister? 'The actions of your administration, in trying to demonstrate evidence of their industry in China, is actually to the detriment of the state, and to local SA-based businesses.' That is a quote from the email he sent to you.</text>

Most of his criticism is directed at the former government and its approach to business. There are a number of questions directed to me, and I will be providing Mr Coles with an answer.</text>
