Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Can the minister advise on what basis the government calculated this $30 million compensation package for the entire live export industry? Does the government seriously believe that $30 million is adequate compensation for a $320 million Australian live export industry? The industry does not want a handout, Mr President; it just wants to get back to normal.
