I thank Senator O'Neill for her second supplementary question. Yes, I can answer that question for you, Senator O'Neill, because the Albanese Labor government is supporting Australian businesses to enter or expand in the UK market through a range of export services. Examples of support for Australian exporters to make the most of the UK free trade agreement include free, practical assistance from the Austrade TradeStart network to develop export strategies and find valuable contacts in the United Kingdom, including through business missions and trade shows. The financial assistance through the Export Market Development Grants program helps eligible Australian businesses to get a foothold in the United Kingdom market. There are opportunities to participate in the London Landing Pad, where innovative Australian technology companies can scale up into the UK market. These are some of the ways that the Albanese government is helping exporters. (Time expired)
