CHINA TRADE LINKS

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:47): Supplementary question: can the minister indicate who travelled with the minister on the trip to China?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:47): The delegation consisted of myself, my chief executive, Ian Nightingale, an adviser, Gillian Hewlett, and also from the China-Australia Entrepreneurs Association—I think he is the chief executive or president here in South Australia—Sean Keenihan. I think that is the extent of the delegation but, as I said, I am happy to provide all those details in terms of the full membership of the delegation and the costs associated.

Obviously I will also be providing a parliamentary report that will outline details of all of my visits, who I met with and what the purpose of each visit was so that members can absolutely be reassured of the level of activity. An enormous amount of work was achieved and some very positive outcomes for the state were also achieved. As I said, I am happy to make those details available to honourable members.
