Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Overseas Investment Overseas Investment The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Overseas Investment The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary arising from the original answer: can the minister point to one single job that has been created in South Australia as a result of his eight trips overseas, and in particular his six trips to China? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Minister for Trade Overseas Investment The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:31): Again, if honourable members would just sit quietly and listen: international students are a good example—now at record numbers—I expect well into the 40,000s. Every four students creates one job. So we go from 35,000 to 45,000—there is another 2,000 jobs. I have been to international education— Members interjecting: The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: They are not interested. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: I actually cannot hear the minister; I would like to hear what the minister is saying. The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council The Hon. K.J. MAHER: Supplementary, Mr President. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: I don't know if he has finished yet. Have you finished, minister? The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I can't hear myself either, sometimes. What they have to understand is that, when we are in China, I do a range of things, and one is to attend the international education seminars and conferences to actually be part of the team that says, 'Come to South Australia.' We get increased numbers; we get more jobs in South Australia. It can't be simpler than that.
