Senator CARR (Victoria—Minister for Innovation, Industry, Science and Research) (14:35): We have established now advocates in the steel industry, in rail, in resources, in water, in auto— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Order on my left and on my right! I know that you are at the other end of the chamber but that is completely disorderly because I cannot hear the minister. Senator CARR: We have established a whole series of advocates in a number of industries. Senator Joyce interjecting— Senator CARR: Oh, Senator Joyce wants to have a crack. The doormat from the north wants to have a crack. Senator Joyce interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Joyce! Senator Sherry interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Senator Sherry! Senator Carr, address the question and ignore the interjections, which are disorderly. Address the chair. Senator CARR: Those opposite would be keen to know, I am sure, that this is an approach that actually works. It makes sure that we get our customers, our contracts and their dollars together. Take, for instance, the coalmining areas and China. Australian industry specialists have been put on the ground, at a cost of some $150,000, and as a result they have been able to secure 13 contracts worth $42 million for Australia. In the past three years, supplier access programs have helped local firms secure $1.8 billion in contracts that otherwise would have gone offshore. We have seen the missions led by Steve Bracks and John Conomos which have recently yielded $60 million of new work in the automotive industry. (Time expired)
