I'm here in Shanghai, China, supporting Australian businesses, supporting Australian jobs and supporting our economy.
We know that one in four of Australia's jobs depends upon free and fair trade, and our biggest export partner is China.
So here I've brought a whole range of businesses with us from the resources sector, tourism and education,
all engaging with China in a constructive way in order to boost our economic benefit.
Engaging with China is in our interests to build a stable and secure region.
Here, over the next few days, what I'm doing is building on that relationship to the benefit of Australian jobs and the Australian economy.
I have absolutely zero sympathy for these people.
I do have sympathy for the children though, who are victims of decisions that their parents have made.
We will work through these issues.
It is appropriate that they undergo support, children who've been subject and exposed to all sorts of horrors in those camps with a big presence of ISIS and that terrible, horrific ideology which seeks to destroy our way of life.
We'll make announcements when we make them as we go.
But a $3.8 billion announcement, it always strikes me as somewhat strange that when you announce a $3.8 billion commitment in a budget in one, two, three, four sleeps to go, you get asked about what next.
This will flow.
You'll see that on Tuesday night.
negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount.
Why aren't you willing to touch those?
Because the experts say that what that potentially would do is diminish supply, not increase it.
And the key to fixing the housing issues is supply.
Negative gearing is off the table.
Yeah, it's off the table.
