Efic supports Australia's live cattle trade when its environmental and social governance standards are met in Australia and in the host country receiving the export of live cattle. Efic provides export finance for live exporters based upon its assessment of the individual licensed exporter's track record and reputation. The Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment has put a very strong focus on increasing opportunities for live exports. We have just had a massive win with Indonesia on the increase in specifications and age for cattle.

Question agreed to.
