Citrus Exports

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:00): Minister, what are you doing to help that business be recognised for being fruit fly free in China?

The Hon. M.L.J. HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Minister for Investment and Trade, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (15:00): The government is involved in extensive activities to promote our primary produce in China. As a matter of fact, over the past few years, the government has made a point of our clean, green primary produce and, frankly, it is a great success story. If the member has some constructive suggestions about what else can be done, provide them. Come up with an idea. We are waiting to see an idea—any idea will do. So, if he has one, tell us what it is.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The deputy leader and the Treasurer are both warned for the first time. Member for Ashford.
