I thank the honourable member for her question, although it's misguided in a lot of its substance. The reality is the Hodgman government have announced $2 million of funding to address the outbreak of fruit fly in Tasmania. They're putting real money on the ground, delivering real things and supporting the agricultural sector in Tasmania. They're working with us, as the federal government, to ensure that we maintain access into those markets that are so important, to give the real returns to those farmers in Tasmania, and to take advantage of the free trade agreements that we've put in place and that you're scared of.
