Yes, I can, Senator Gichuhi. When I was recently in South Australia, in the seat of Mayo, with Georgina Downer, we were speaking about the importance of the wine industry to the local area, particularly in the Adelaide Hills. We know the wine industry is worth about $6 billion to the GDP of South Australia and employs a lot of people in that area, but it's an international business and it requires digital connectivity to ensure they can compete internationally. Bec Hardy proudly runs the business Wines by Geoff Hardy with her family in the Adelaide Hills and she spoke about the importance of our investment to her business. It means that, at their cellar door in Kuitpo, customers can check in on social media, post a selfie while enjoying a drop in the Adelaide Hills or place an online wine order, post-tasting, on their mobile handset, allowing them to grow their business and employ more people locally.
