I said ‘Deputy Leader of the Nationals’ and I should correct that to ‘Leader of the Nationals’; the word ‘Deputy’ has got green sticky tape over it. For wheat growers to be given certainty, the legislation that we currently face has to be taken into account. The legislation that we currently face was given clear sunset provisions, which expire on 30 June. Any debate, and the need to make sure we have sensible arrangements from 1 July onwards, needs to take that into account.
