          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY:</by>  Yes, that's right. Well, there's absolutely no Argentinian wine, that's for sure; in fact, there's no wine. As I said earlier, it's actually about growing the state's network of connections. As members opposite are aware, we have undertaken the Joyce review; we are implementing it. That is a work in progress, as we speak. We expect there will be a lot more transparent guidelines around what we expect from all of government as we progress through the South Australian growth agendas that will be released later in the year.</text>
        <text id="20190501729d70f73a2f486c90000167">This was again a very early-stage trip, to go to Europe, to make some relationships with the space sector. We are so fortunate. I think members opposite belittle the opportunity that space presents to this state, something the Premier has been passionate about; in fact, he almost drove us a little bit crazy, he was so obsessed with it. It has been something that has put us on the global stage. Schoolchildren are cheering politicians at speech nights they are so delighted. It is something that is tangible, something that is great for them.</text>
        <text id="20190501729d70f73a2f486c90000168">This was really just about an initial trip to make some relationships, to forge some friendships with people so we can actually start to develop those relationships and friendships to make a meaningful contribution to the great investment the federal government has given to us: the opportunity to host the national Space Agency.</text>
