If the member for Watson would let me finish, because this is an important one that he actually alluded to—that he'd like some time for the opposition spokesperson to be briefed. We haven't been asked. He never asked.

What the member for Watson doesn't understand is that we are incorporating the amendments from the former member for Indi that quite rightly put greater integrity into this. You saw the substantive motions of this bill in October and you voted against it. You came into this place and you politicised the misery of Australian farmers.
