Thank you again, Senator Bilyk, for your question. You're exactly right about our diversification policies. The Albanese Labor government are getting started on our trade diversification agenda with this important economic partner. Next month, I will travel to India with the Prime Minister and a business delegation to seize the opportunity under our existing free-trade deal and advance negotiations on a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement. We're supporting Australian businesses to diversify their trade and to deliver secure, high-paying jobs for Australian workers and Tasmanian workers.
