Senator Macdonald is right: I only have 60 seconds. Including ANCA, there were 12 category winners selected from 74 finalists covering sectors such as agribusiness, business services, the creative industries, education and training, environmental solutions, health and biotechnology, information and communications technology, minerals and energy, online sales, regional exporters and small business. These categories cover many of the key sectors Australia has a competitive advantage in.

These awards are a great initiative of the Australian government in conjunction with ACCI and CPA to put on show the best of Australian industry. I congratulate Austral Fisheries, Nuix, Alt.vfx, Origo Education, Rubicon Water, Blackmores, Soprano Design, Blast Movement Technologies, Halfbrick Studios, Tasmanian Quality Meats and b.box for kids for winning awards in their sectors. The 74 finalists generated more than $1.9 billion in export sales and employed more than 16,500 last year. (Time expired)
