More than 300 delegates at the New South Wales Nationals conference on Saturday at Bathurst outrightly said no to the foreign takeover of GrainCorp by American corporation Archer Daniels Midland and called on the Treasurer to do the same. Tomorrow Mark Hoskinson, the chair of the New South Wales Farmers Grains Committee, and Justin Crosby, policy director of Grain and Horticulture, will be in this place talking to the Nationals, impressing upon us the need to continue to impress upon the Treasurer to say no. I call on him to do just that.

House adjourned at 10:30
