I am going to display my slight preference for Western Sydney again and talk about a company called Ensitech, whose CEO, Clive White, attended the free trade forum in Parramatta last week, with trade and investment minister, Andrew Robb. It is based in Emu Plains in Western Sydney. It is a wholly-owned Australian company that has a unique business manufacturing stainless steel welding brushes and surface finishing systems already to some 15 export markets. They are an amazing example of how advanced manufacturing can thrive in this country, but only if there is adequate access to key export markets. As a result of the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement, Ensitech will end up with a 9.5 per cent tariff removed from their exports. That will amazingly improve their margins, their capacity to secure new customers and their competitive position, but, most importantly, it will improve their ability to employ people in Western Sydney in their own business.
