My question is to the Minister representing the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Agriculture, Senator Canavan. I refer to the statement of the Deputy Prime Minister, who said that the relocation of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority to his own electorate would be carefully considered, managed responsibly and undertaken in consultation with staff, clients and stakeholders. Why is the minister ignoring the National Farmers' Federation, which in June voted against the relocation of the authority, and the concerns of Agribusiness Association of Australia, CropLife Australia and Animal Medicines Australia?
