TRADE, INDONESIA

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): Can the minister outline to the house what the export total was for South Australia last year and what it was when Labor came to power almost 12 years ago, and what progress the government has made, if at all, in terms of exports during that time?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Small Business) (14:54): I am happy to get those numbers, but what I will say is that exporting manufacturing jobs overseas, shutting down the manufacturing industry after Holden goes, getting rid of Holden and getting rid of manufacturing seems to be what the opposition wants.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. T.R. KENYON: That is not the sort of export we want. We do not want to be exporting jobs and importing goods. We want to be exporting goods and services, and you cannot do that if you do not manufacture here.

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for the second and final time. The member for Morialta is called to order, though the number of his transgressions is such that he should have been ejected, and the Minister for Health is called to order for encouraging that kind of behaviour.

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Yes, an accessory after the fact.
