From negotiating the TPP, which many said could not be done, to leading the world in securing an exemption from US tariffs, everything we do is designed to create more and better paid jobs for Australians—for example, our $4.9 million Global Connections Fund, providing seed funding to enable Australian small to medium enterprises to collaborate with SMEs overseas; our $16.5 million Global Innovation Linkages program, supporting Australian industry and research organisations with international research grants; our Landing Pads initiative, providing start-ups with an entry into global innovation hotspots; and our $3.2 million Regional Collaborations Program, building strong regional linkages in the Asia-Pacific. Again, the Turnbull government is committed to growing the economy, creating jobs and standing up for Australia's best interests.
