You'd be welcome! Senator Colbeck would be welcome—anything to restore the damage that you have done.

For example, there's the Hobart based fisheries company Australian Longline, who have benefited from tariff cuts on exports to India. In Western Australia, there's the Geraldton Fisherman's Co-operative, who recently secured an Indian distributor to supply fresh lobsters because of our free trade agreement, and, of course, they're getting into China as well. One in four Australian jobs relate to trade, and our trade diversification agenda is delivering more high-paying jobs to Australians.
