Export Market Development Grants Legislation Speech

Speeches

I rise to support the Export Market Development Grants Legislation Amendment Bill 2006 and the second reading amendment. It was interesting to hear the remarks by the member for Riverina. They would have led one to believe that the Export Market Development Grants Scheme was a great coalition initiative rather than one which the coalition butchered when it came to office. It slashed it and abolished all the accompanying programs in the biggest cut to assistance to exporters in Australian history.
