Shanghai Trade Office

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:29): Further supplementary: the minister has stated that these policies and the Shanghai trade office are designed to improve our state's share of exports. Can the minister explain then why the state's share of exports dropped from more than 4 per cent in March this year to 3.3 per cent in September 2018, including our worst September monthly exports to China figure since 2012?

The PRESIDENT: That's not a supplementary. That's a new question, so I am not going to ask the minister to answer. Perhaps another Labor member can ask that on your behalf later on in question time. The Hon. Ms Bourke.
