This weekend Farm World will be the focus of attention for Gippsland, Victoria and the nation. Farm World is the premier agricultural event in Australia. It is held at Lardner Park at Warragul. This is a big year for our Farm World exhibition because, in China last year, there were some 16 million babies born. Now that they are changing their one-child policy, there may be many more millions of babies born—up to one or two million more babies born in China next year. Their demand for our milk has risen dramatically since they ran into problems with the production of their own home-grown milk. Our very clean, green, pure baby milk powder is in demand right across China. That is good for dairy farmers in my electorate. It is good for opportunities for machinery sellers.

Everything will be at Farm World—from sources to sandwiches, from grass to greater greenery, from machinery to magnificent opportunities to see how our farmers perform right across Gippsland. I encourage everybody to get along to Farm World at Gippsland. There will be people there from all over the nation and from all over the world.
