Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Is Professor Roy Green wrong when he implies on page 110 of his review into the textile, clothing and footwear industry, released on Friday, that Australian wool is not ‘ethically’ produced? Isn’t the government rolling over to extreme antifarmer activists by considering the idea of providing more than $8 million to support the notion that some Australian farmers are unethical?
