They are very excited today, since they are all going home! Nola Marino's electorate of Forrest has also got a strong wine industry. We will be eliminating the tariffs on entry into force into Canada and Vietnam, where there is a going wine industry. We will be having the tariffs eliminated over 11 years. We are seeing big new contracts coming through in the wine industry. This is also great for those workers in the wine industry and for those farmers to get a better return through the farm gate in the wine industry. Senator Anne Ruston, who is very accomplished in the horticultural industry, will see the 27 per cent tariff cut over three years for fresh oranges and the 70 per cent tariff cut over five years for mandarins.

This all stands in lock step with our plans on infrastructure, whether it is the inland rail, whether it is the beef roads in Central Queensland or whether it is dams and Roads to Recovery. This is a government that is actually finding the markets, expanding the markets and bringing a better return through the farm gate. This is a government that has a vision, this is a government that has a plan and we are a government that is delivering.
