MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer: in relation to the trade mission schedule that the minister outlined, who has the final sign-off on that trade mission? Is it the minister himself or is it his acting chief executive?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:30):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question, but I don't think I quite understand. The trade missions calendar is something that is taken to cabinet for the cabinet to look at, but it is a live document. So, if an opportunity jumps up and we think, 'Hey, that's a great opportunity,' or a couple of businesses say, 'We would like to go somewhere. There's a group of businesspeople that would like to go to a particular market and it's worth going to,' we are happy to look at that. While it is a document that goes to cabinet, it is also live on the website so that people can actually have a look at it.</text>
