Market Liquidity in Bonds and Asset-backed Securities", and I cannot understand what

Hi, I have read this from a report from RBA "Secondary Market Liquidity in Bonds and Asset-backed Securities", and I cannot understand what the means of the "Bonds with higher outstanding values", and what the " these bonds will be traded more often in all markets" means in the end of first paragraph, is that conclusion will have an influence for the market? Could you explain it in detail? Many thanks.

Bond size and liquidity For most markets, turnover increased with the size of the bond's outstanding value (Graph 3). This relationship was most apparent within AGS. Large-sized AGS (with over $1.5 billion outstanding) had a turnover ratio of around 120 per cent, over 3 times higher than medium- sized bonds (between $0.5 and $1.5 billion outstanding). Although, this may reflect the larger size of non-indexed AGS relative to indexed AGS. However, in the ABS market, smaller bond lines had higher turnover ratios due to their larger trade size as a share of outstanding. There was little relationship between size and turnover ratios in the Kangaroo bond market. Bonds with higher outstanding values traded more often across all markets (Graph 4).
