Citadel Secure

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Trade and Investment. Has the minister ever met with any representative of Citadel Secure and, if so, with whom, when and for what purpose?

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Planning) (14:49): I meet with businesses all the time and I was very happy to meet with Citadel Secure on 5 September at 10.45 for a 30-minute meeting. I met with Mr David Searles, the Director and Defence Engagement Specialist, and Mr James O'Hanlon, Director and Defence Security and Training Specialist. We discussed their proposal for communications infrastructure for disaster zones and for places without secure and critical communications infrastructure. I think they are a great South Australian company. I think both those individuals served their country in places like Rwanda, Timor and Afghanistan. Personally, I am always happy to meet veteran-run businesses because I think that is a real strength of our defence state.

I think this was an important meeting. I was happy to take it. To save the member asking, the outcome of that meeting was that we referred them to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, who were better able to help them with their particular plans.
