Twenty million dollars is a considerable amount of money, but it is not going to solve the problems of the cherry industry, which cannot get AQIS to sign off on its verifications. We are not playing around here with tiny industries; these are the biggest industries in Australia. They support and sustain the regional and rural communities. Goodness knows after Senator Wong has tried to garrotte them they are going to need all the support they can get.
