It is quite unworthy of those on the other side to pursue this line of questioning. The Leader of the Opposition in the Senate knows full well that Ms Tracey Cain is the wife of my chief of staff, which she could have indicated to the chamber rather than ask me the question. There is no connection, whatsoever, between my chief of staff and the company Australian Public Affairs. My chief of staff has no connection with the food industry and is simply doing his job as my chief of staff. This side of the chamber—those in government—will continue to apply rigour to all our processes, including policy decisions and policy making, which those on the other side of the chamber clearly did not do when in government. We will continue to make sure that appropriate decisions are made in the best interests of the nation.
