My question without notice is to the Acting Prime Minister. Is the minister aware that, at a public meeting held in Innisfail two years ago, AQIS could not recall a single application that had been rejected by them in the last seven years? A recent media article said not a single application had been agreed to by the Europeans in the last three years. In North Queensland two of our main crops are sugar and mangoes. America has allowed no sugar and no mangoes into the United States. Finally, all other countries scientifically assess and almost invariably say no. What credibility has Australia with AQIS, who invariably say yes—the gang that just cannot say no?
