Let me repeat what I said in my first answer—that is, the minister for trade has made it quite clear:

The TPP has transformational promise with the potential to help drive growth, jobs and higher living standards. The key focus of our involvement is to materially advance Australia’s interests in a negotiation involving 12 countries which represent 40 per cent of global GDP.

That is the important thing that the Australian government is pursuing.
