Senator CICCONE (Victoria) (14:23): My question is to my good friend and Minister for Trade and Tourism Senator Farrell. Honourable senators interjecting— Senator CICCONE: Yes, he is. Since the Albanese Labor government was first elected, great strides have been made in opening many opportunities for Australian businesses into overseas markets. This has included a secure and comprehensive trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates. Could the minister please update the Senate on the many benefits of this trade deal with the UAE and how the Albanese government has helped many Australian businesses weather the storm of dramatic changes to global trade.
