I thank the member for Parramatta for his question and for welcoming me to his electorate just a week ago, looking at affordable housing there around the Westmead precinct. We are the 13th largest economy in the world, but to keep growing we need to focus on a future made in Australia, pursuing greater diversity in what we make and what we send to the world, making more things here and getting economic growth as a result. Tomorrow marks one year since the Australia-UK Free Trade Agreement entered into force. In the first 10 months since the deal was implemented, Australian exports to the UK have reached $5 billion, a 100 per cent increase, including in things like sheep meat, which has expanded substantially, as well as wine and other produce as well.
