As I was saying, and I am very pleased to reiterate this, we have achieved in 12 months what those opposite could not achieve in six years. We are building on trade deals already concluded with Korea and Japan. The ChAFTA forms part of this very powerful trifecta of agreements with Australia's three largest export markets, which account for more than 61 per cent of our exports of goods. This trade trifecta is absolute proof that we are open for business. It means more jobs and higher living standards for Australians. That is something that those opposite could not achieve.
