I thank the honourable member for Mackellar for her comments. I wish to rectify some omissions that I made about our Swiss visit. We had a very informative briefing from Economic Swiss and the Swiss Business Federation, which is an umbrella group representing the Swiss business and industry sector. I hope that the Minister for Health and Ageing does not think that I am touting for business for CSL Behring, but we visited CSL Behring in Berne and I think that that was a really good example of an Australian based company making a real impact on the world stage especially in very important pharmaceuticals.
