JBS Beef City in Purrawunda in Queensland, JBS Dinmore in Riverview, Kilcoy Pastoral Company in Kilcoy, Meramist in Caboolture and the Northern Co-operative Meat Company in Casino on the north coast of New South Wales. This follows the opening up of our exports of coal, cotton, copper ores, timber, barley and of course, more recently, wine. Of the $20 billion of trade impediments that were there with China, almost all of them now have been lifted.

But we can do more across the board as well, including the deal that we have done, the largest ever defence export deal, of $1 billion for 100 Boxers that are made in Redbank in Queensland to be exported to Germany. We're growing our economy, creating secure jobs and boosting our industries. Future Made in Australia presents enormous opportunities for further growth in our exports, critical minerals, value-adding and advanced manufacturing, including in areas like green aluminium and green steel. If we get this right, we can secure a very prosperous future for Australia. Trade is an important part of it. We will continue to defend the national interest by advancing a future made here in Australia. (Time expired)
