As I said, Minister Robb has secured a best ever commitment from China for Australian services, including aged care, to operate in their domestic market. Australian aged care is, we all know, world class. We have a world leader in the Australian aged-care industry. Countries such as China, Japan, Vietnam and Sweden have previously sought our advice and expertise on aged care. This is a truly brilliant opportunity to export Australia's world-leading, quality aged-care services and expertise to China and to bring quality care to older people living in China. It will greatly expand the private health and aged-care sectors' wide offering of services throughout the region, and it will reinforce Australia's position as a world leader in health and aged care.
