Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I ask the minister why did he deliberately mislead the Senate in saying that no submission had been made by the Queensland government to the federal government, when I have a copy of the letter here that I can table? Secondly, Minister, what do you propose to do about the 300,000 head of cattle that are about to die a horrible death because of your live cattle ban and the natural events of bushfires and drought? What are you going to do about those cattle to give them feed?
