          <by role="member" id="5244">The Hon. J.E. HANSON:</by>  I have so many questions. Given that the chief executive of DTF stated more than a year ago that KPIs for trade offices were being developed, I ask:</text>

        <text id="201906043659cf8c042a4ee780000108">2.&amp;#x9;Are those KPIs standard across all trade offices or changing, depending on what country the trade office is located in?</text>
        <text id="201906043659cf8c042a4ee780000109">3.&amp;#x9;Are all KPIs being met?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:37):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. We are developing some KPIs for our trade offices, and I don't have the current KPIs that are under development at the moment. What I will say is we actually have a broad ranging set of KPIs for the government, which is to grow our economy, to grow exports, to grow investment, to grow international student numbers, all of which are increasing. We have a broad ranging set of targets for KPIs for government. The trade offices are signed up to that and they are to continue to deliver on the Marshall government's agenda of growing the state's economy.</text>
