South Australian Trade and Investment Office, USA

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): A further supplementary: what is the process for the selection of officers in the Houston office for South Australia?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:42): I think I have seen a copy of the advertisement that has gone out and there is a process in place. My understanding is that there is an expectation that there will be huge interest in coming to work with South Australia—huge interest. I am told there could be as many as 400 applicants. I am not surprised, because it would be a privilege and an honour to work for the Marshall government and represent our state overseas. I expect that some initial shortlisting work will be done by Austrade and then there will be a large pool of good contenders given to our team to go through the normal process of interviews and selection.
