RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:34):</by>  Initially, it will be Ms Townsend on her own, and then she will recruit additional people. We expect that there will be one more with her, and there's a good indication that there's a strong opportunity to do some work in Korea. We may, as budget permits, appoint somebody to be, if you like, in a satellite office in Korea, rather than try to service that from Tokyo. But, at this stage, Ms Townsend will be on her own, and she will have the opportunity to recruit one more person to join her. Then, as the workload builds, we will look at what extra support we need to give her. Of course, we have significant support for the overseas trade offices and the office we have back here in Adelaide.</text>
