Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given that many Australians may wish to buy only Australian grown apples to support Australia’s $400 million apple industry, which employs more than 4,500 people in regional areas, is the government aware that the current labelling laws do not in fact require imported apples to identify their country of origin, and what plans does the government have in place to fix this loophole to ensure that Australian consumers are not left deceived?
