Thank you, Mr President. I thank the minister for his answer and I ask him a supplementary question: can the minister advise the Senate what industries the government is assisting beyond rail manufacturing? In particular, what other industries will benefit from the supplier advocate program? Does the government support any other advocacy initiatives, including initiatives for specific sectors and initiatives in the international arena? Can the minister inform the Senate what these initiatives have achieved to date, and how they serve the government’s broader competitive objectives for Australian manufacturing?
