The South Australian (SA) centre-left Labor government will push its trade opportunities from the state’s London office reversing the previous Liberal government’s plan to fund an additional trade office in France.

Changing the former government’s decision will save around $500,000 (US$346,000), a sum the current government says is equivalent to hiring six frontline nurses.
