Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. At a time when the government has suspended the $300 million beef trade to Indonesia, why has the government added to the angst within the beef industry by withdrawing the 40 per cent AQIS rebate, as of 1 July 2011, even though the government has failed to deliver the promised cost savings to the industry but has added a new level of bureaucracy instead?
