Since the change of government in September 2013, the coalition government has achieved over 50 key market access gains or restorations of suspended markets. On top of this, we have achieved over 30 key market access improvements or actions to maintain market access. The three big markets of North Asia for which we have successfully negotiated free trade agreements together account for around US$220 billion worth of agricultural food and fishery imports from the world each year. The coalition has created huge opportunity on the international market, and it is pleasing to see investments like that of the new Wellcamp airport, which can be seen as evidence of confidence in this government's ability to deliver for the people of Australia.
