While the UK trade deal will benefit all Australians by creating more jobs and commercial opportunities, I will provide one example for the great state of New South Wales, which goes to the ballot box tomorrow.

SIA Medical, which is based in Sydney, is Australia's largest provider of epilepsy diagnostic services. The company is expanding fast and recently opened an office in London. While in London last year, I saw firsthand this Australian cutting-edge technology in action. It's truly amazing technology developed here in Australia. The team said they were excited about the benefits the trade deal will deliver, including facilitating the movement of equipment and staff. This is just one example of how the UK trade deal will improve business opportunities.
