The minister has comprehensively ignored my question. The article in yesterday's Australian indicated that Minister Macfarlane was preparing a raft of antidumping measures. Can the minister indicate whether a provision similar to the United States' Robert Byrd amendment, under which affected companies were granted revenue collected through dumping duties, has been considered? If not, why not? Is the government at least sympathetic or supportive of the idea that the dumping duties announced last week in relation to canned tomatoes ought to be given or redirected to those companies affected?
