My question is to the Minister for Trade and Tourism, Senator Farrell. Over the last 18 months, the Albanese Labor government has been hard at work repairing our international relationships and standing up for Australian exporters, because we know that free and fair trade is good for jobs and good for business. Yesterday, the minister accompanied the Prime Minister on an official visit to China, the first by an Australian prime minister since 2016. A key purpose of this visit was to showcase the very best of Australia's exports at the world's largest trade show, in Shanghai, while continuing to advocate for removal of outstanding trade impediments. How is the Albanese Labor government stabilising our trading relationship with China, and what benefits has it brought to Australian exporters, workers and communities?
