International Education

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (14:48): A supplementary arising from the answer: can the minister confirm the last time he met with the Chinese international student community to provide support?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:48): I meet with the Chinese international student community regularly and, in fact, my next regular meeting is first thing tomorrow morning with the student ambassadors and education providers.

The Hon. E.S. Bourke interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, you have asked a supplementary question. The minister is attempting to answer. I would like to be able to hear the answer.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: I met with the Chinese consul, Madame He Lanjing, and a range of providers prior to a Chinese New Year celebration, only about two weeks ago. I am in regular contact with all the education providers, the student bodies and, in fact, wherever I can, I support the Chinese student community and the Chinese community here, Mr President. In fact, your good self and my good friend the Hon. Rob Lucas enjoyed lunch in Chinatown only a couple of weeks ago to continue to support the Chinese community.
