I've gotten to know Minister Price much better since she's been appointed to cabinet, and I know she's a strong advocate for environmental issues in this country. She's a strong advocate particularly for Western Australia as well—the importance of balancing the environment with economic activity in that state. And I know from my relationship with her and communication with her that she's a strong cabinet minister in this Morrison-McCormack government. She will continue to play a very important role in developing relationships with other countries, especially, of course, on environmental matters, many of which do require global cooperation. Minister Price is leading on many of these different issues, which she will continue to do, and I'm confident she will continue to be part of a government that will strengthen our relationship with our Pacific neighbours. We will concentrate on the substantive matters between our two different countries and regions to make sure we've a stronger Asia-Pacific region for the whole globe.
