Barnaby Joyce (New England, National Party, Minister for Agriculture) Share this | Hansard source

Our plan is exactly what we are doing. We are increasing the standard of living of people on the land by reason of our government. By reason, not just of rhetoric—what we are actually doing; what we are actually delivering. We are actually delivering a better price of dairy. We are actually delivering a better price for a sheep. We are actually delivering a better price for beef. Under them, the price of a bail of cotton was $470 a bail; under us it is $520 a bail. Under them, lambs were 435 cents per kilogram; under us it is 664 cents per kilogram. Under us everything is better. Under us in agriculture everything is better.
