Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the importance of the dairy farming industry in Australia and the need for Australia to be able to access fresh, high-quality and locally-produced dairy products, it is imperative that the interests of Australian farmers are protected. What is the government doing to address and stop the predatory practices of large and powerful supermarket chains which negotiate unfair and unjust contract with farmers—contracts that clearly undermine the survival and success of Australian farmers?
