My question is to the Attorney-General, representing the Minister for Trade. The Australian government is negotiating free trade agreements with the governments of the gulf states, India, Indonesia and 10 or 11 countries in the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It's signed an agreement involving various Pacific Island countries and has free trade agreements in force with the governments of New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, the US, Chile, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. The Australian government also has a free trade agreement with the government of China. However, it does not have a free trade agreement with the government of Taiwan. The previous minister for trade Mr Andrew Robb advised me that such an agreement was on the agenda. Can the Attorney advise if this is still the case?
