Senator WHISH-WILSON (Tasmania) (14:26): My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Investment, Senator Brandis. Yesterday's announced Chinese-Australian deal to have a trade deal did not deliver a final negotiated outcome on lowering Foreign Investment Review Board approval barriers for Chinese state owned enterprises. It has been reported that this is part of a second stage of the trade negotiation process. Why wasn't this potential risk to our national interest resolved; and when will you finally be able to rule out that you will not trade away important existing foreign ownership protections?
