Australian Space Agency

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): On the whole of his European jaunt was there a single contract signed or a single pledge of a job in any industry?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:42): It was a trip to Europe. It was the first trip I've done as the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment to Europe. It was about a whole range of opportunities to look for investment opportunities and build relationships. That is what it's about: it is about building relationships. I had some meetings in the UK that the Agent General set up for me. It is about building relationships.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: That's what you don't understand, and we are doing it on a daily basis. We hope these people will come here. They want to see that we are for real. The chief executive of the German space agency wants to come and have a look and wants to have a look at what we do. You don't sign a contract on the first date. You might, but we don't.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Ms Franks is on her feet.

The Hon. T.J. Stephens interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Stephens, please show some respect to the Hon. Ms Franks.
