Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I am pleased to hear that the senator is in fact listening to me because the government obviously is not listening to Australian fruit and vegetable growers. Isn’t the National Farmers Federation right when it condemns the government for trying to weasel out of its promise to deliver a mandatory code of conduct to help produce growers? Why is the government more interested in trying to deflect scrutiny of its broken promises to Australia’s 20,000 fruit and vegetable growers by promising another talkfest than in actually delivering on a clear election commitment?
