Roach's use of statistics

Comments on Neville Roach “Rudd needs to make a deal with India”, 24/09/2010, http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/rudd-needs-to-make-a-deal-with-india/story-e6frg6zo-1225928554544
While the trade surplus with India is encouraging, how much is Australia's total exports to India?

It is very interesting to see how Neville Roach uses statistics to support his point.

Good skills and well done, and congratulations!

PS: This is what Roach says: “The latest trade figures highlight just how rapidly India's importance to Australia is growing. Last year, India became Australia's third-largest export market. Australia's trade surplus with India was a staggering $15.5 billion, second only to Japan and significantly greater than the $10.6bn with China. With India also one of our main sources of skilled temporary and permanent migrants and overseas students, its growing importance to Australia cannot be overstated.”
