My question is to the Minister for Foreign Affairs. I know that the minister has a real interest in Papua New Guinea, particularly the women of that country. She would know that at least 85 per cent of the food grown in PNG is grown by women and also that Australia funds important agricultural research in Papua New Guinea. Could the minister please tell the House what the plans are to take advantage of this research and fund agricultural training and development, particularly for the women of PNG?
