I will. Thank you, Mr President. Senator Canavan, in my new role as Greens spokesperson for agriculture and rural affairs I have already had multiple representations from farmers, growers and industry representatives who say they are fearful of the introduction of the backpacker tax and what it will mean for their businesses. Could the minister please outline to the Senate the impact the uncertainty over the proposed backpacker tax is having on the farmers planning for future harvests?
