My question is to the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources. Could the minister advise the House how his ministerial statement on the farm produce code of conduct—and I quote:

... under the code ... agreements will be defined in a contract—

which clearly envisages a contractual code—is consistent with a government promise of a ‘mandatory’ code? Could he advise how a farmer with a gross income of $200,000 could afford a court case to enforce a contract against, say, Woolworths or Coles with grosses of $38 million and $36,000 million respectively?
