My question is to the Minister for Agriculture. Minister, given the excess demand for agricultural graduates in 2012 nationally—there were over 4,000 jobs for graduates but only 800 people graduating—and the related chronic shortage of postgraduate researchers, will you agree to meet with the Australian Council of Deans of Agriculture to discuss what can be done to ameliorate the impact of budget measures on universities and the long-term future of agriculture in Australia?
