Senator BABET (Victoria—United Australia Party Whip) (14:43): My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Trade and Tourism, Minister Wong. We live in a global economy, and Australia has a lot to contribute to international trade. We are blessed with an abundance of natural resources and an agricultural sector that produces the best food and fibre in the world. I commend the government on their recent success in negotiating trade agreements with the UK and India. Can the minister please update the Senate on the current progress in negotiating a free trade agreement with the European Union?
