Mr McCORMACK (Riverina—Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development and Leader of The Nationals) (14:20): I thank the member for Mallee for her question. She knows full well the benefits of the free trade agreements that our government has been able to arrange and broker, with Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, South-East Asian nations generally, and particularly China, our largest trading partner. The Mildura Fruit Company, in the member for Mallee's electorate, has experienced firsthand the value of these FTA agreements. The general manager, Perry Hill, said the trade with China has been the saviour of the citrus industry. John Hederics, a fruit grower from Trentham, said that the pink navel, which looks much like any other orange from the outside, can fetch as much as $1,300 a tonne. He said: China's been a big change for us ... with that market opening up and the demand for our fruit, they really love our fruit, especially the pink navels. This is free trade agreements in action—the benefit of free trade agreements writ large in the member for Mallee's electorate, in and around Mildura, in and around the Sunraysia. The FTAs have made it cheaper to get product into these countries. The benefit flows on to growers, particularly through higher prices and security of market, of course. The FTA has enabled an expansion in plantings in the Sunraysia and has resulted in a five per cent year-on-year increase in exports since the FTAs have been signed by this government, from 2013. Agricultural exports to South Korea and Japan are up 21 per cent on last financial year and have combined values of $83 million. That's $83 million potentially going into the pockets of farmers. That is fantastic news. Ag exports to South-East Asian nations have grown by 25 per cent in the last financial year, and they're still growing, drought notwithstanding. The trade minister is continuing negotiations on a post-Brexit deal with Great Britain. We're aiming to grow our agricultural industry from $60 billion to $100 billion by 2030. We've got a plan, we've got a blueprint, we've got— Mr Albanese interjecting— Mr McCORMACK: Have you ever been mellow? Why are you yelling out? This is a bipartisan thing. China is currently our latest— Honourable members interjecting— Mr McCORMACK: Well, I tried to 'get physical' with the member for Hunter last week. But, 'please, Mister, please', just be quiet for now! China is currently our largest agriculture, forestry and fisheries export market, Member for Grayndler. We have an Australia-only duty free quota of wool and we hold 74 per cent—nearly three-quarters of the market share—and that's tremendous. We account for 21 per cent of China's beef imports, with 116,000 tonnes of beef travelling from our Australian farms and feeding families in China. We want to increase it. We've got a trade minister and an assistant trade minister, in the member for Parkes, doing their utmost to make sure that we broker even further arrangements which are going to help our agricultural export industry and will help our farming families.
