Merchandise Exports

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): I think the minister misunderstood the question. Does the minister have any information as to whether South Australia's share of the national export figures are up or down, based on this time last year?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:28): I think that I do have a little bit of extra information. South Australia's merchandise exports share was down 2.9 per cent—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: Down or down to 2.9 per cent?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: South Australia's national share of merchandise exports was 2.9 per cent, down from 3.5 per cent earlier. Of course, we have some other states: Tasmania down 2.6 per cent and New South Wales down 2.9 per cent.
