Export Accelerator Program

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:36): Supplementary question: given the minister has highlighted the importance of these grants, why is the funding pool for this grants program less than the previous government's export partnership program?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:36): We have a number of funding rounds. We continue to support exporters. The member might be interested in the quantum of the money that is being spoken about. We have competitive rounds and exporters are getting on board and applying for them and we are awarding the grants to them.
