Senator BIRMINGHAM (South Australia—Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:41): All Australian states and territories have seen real benefits, but Tasmania has seen particularly strong benefits. In 2017, more than 40 per cent of Tasmania's goods exports went to China, Japan or Korea—all countries with whom our government has sealed a free trade agreement. These exports were worth $1.4 billion to the Australian economy— Senator Whish-Wilson interjecting— Senator BIRMINGHAM: I would have thought Senator Whish-Wilson might care about this—and were a 34 per cent increase on just the preceding year. That is such strong growth. It is growth that we are seeing in unwrought zinc, for example. Senator O'Sullivan interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, please resume your seat. Senator O'Sullivan, it is inappropriate to interject on your feet on the way out. Minister. Senator BIRMINGHAM: In unwrought zinc exports, with tariffs bound at zero, we have strong growth out of Tasmania—nearly $1 billion. In terms of those FTAs with China, Korea and Japan, we have seen important growth in chilled fish with more than $90 million in exports. Trade has underpinned 27 consecutive years of growth in Australia, and it will keep doing so. (Time expired)
