Mr LAUNDY (Reid) (14:41): Thank you, Madam Speaker. That yielding is a lot overrated. My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Might I add that it is lovely to actually have her in the country! Will the minister update the House on how the government has strengthened Australia's relations with our major trading partners in Asia and the benefits this will have for the Australian economy? Mr Ripoll interjecting— The SPEAKER: This really does feel like the last week of the sitting. This is normally the behaviour we get in the last week. However, perhaps if we hear a splendid answer from the Minister for Foreign Affairs we may have some decorum return to the chamber.
