Senator RONALDSON (Victoria—Minister for Veterans' Affairs, Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Centenary of ANZAC and Special Minister of State) (14:50): Senator Collins, I will take that interjection. I was actually in PNG with a group of men aged 90-plus commemorating 70 years of the end of the Second World War. If you think that is amusing, then that is a poor reflection on you. Senator Jacinta Collins: Mr President, on a point of order: I made no interjection. The PRESIDENT: That is a debating point. Senator Carol Brown interjecting— Senator RONALDSON: I might ask Senator Brown what comment she made later on. I thank Senator Sinodinos for the question. Under the China-Australia Free Trade Agreement our resources will be entirely duty-free. Reducing the tariffs on minerals and eliminating the tariffs on the coal sector will increase Australia's mineral exports by about $600 million per annum. This is a better deal than was done with New Zealand. New Zealand exports increased fivefold over the last five years after the agreement was done. This agreement does not involve changing any workplace relations laws. It does not involve changing any migration laws. It will not involve reducing existing labour market testing and labour market protection. Every way you look at it, this is a great deal for this country and a great deal for Australian workers. That is why Bob Hawke, Bob Carr and Simon Crean and a number of the Labor premiers have come out to support it. Sally McPherson, who runs an earthmoving people equipment supplier, has said: The China deal will make mining more competitive and that will be good for jobs in Australian businesses like ours … anything that gives our mining companies a better chance to compete abroad— (Time expired)
