As I was saying, when I asked Mr Greg Brown from the Cattle Council if he had been a producer for long, he said, ‘All his life.’ He is fourth generation. To suggest that Mr Brown or others representing the beef industry are going to destroy a multibillion dollar export industry I find abysmal. What we have had is an absolute scare campaign run by the opposition. There has been so much misinformation out there in the media. Every time we have a hearing or something, we see certain reporters from a certain paper in New South Wales called the Land and—lo and behold!—out echoes all the opposition senators’ comments and statements. The scare campaign is absolutely amazing.
