China Trade

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Supplementary, based on the very extensive, wideranging answer.

The PRESIDENT: Yes, you can probably ask anything you feel like.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Can the minister point to one single job that has been created in South Australia as a result of six trips to China?

The PRESIDENT: Minister.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: You have asked a question. Allow the minister to answer the supplementary.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:29): The fact that we have 14,000 people coming to Adelaide, spending nearly $100 million—and the wineries. It was the single biggest order. I haven't actually asked the three wineries if it created any jobs, but it's the biggest single order one of them has ever had. It was touted around the wine sector that it was the biggest single order ever to be signed for one company in South Australia.
