Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. I refer the minister to a letter in The Sydney Morning Herald published on 6 June 2011 and co-signed by Senator Bob Carr, in which an organisation, Voiceless, called on the government to end the live cattle trade. As Senator Bob Carr remains a council member of the organisation Voiceless, how can the government credibly claim that it remains committed to the northern cattle producers—when its foreign minister is clearly against the industry?
