John Anderson (Gwydir, National Party) Share this | Hansard source

As the member for Corio departs, can I say that I appreciated very much what he had to say. With his level of understanding of the real issues confronting agriculture—the opportunities and the contribution it has made—it is a great shame the Labor Party does not value him more highly. Indeed, so good is his understanding that perhaps we might recognise his value and ask him over here, as I am sure the ‘General’ of—I beg your pardon, the member for—Corangamite might acknowledge.
