One of the aspects of the United Nations regime is the setting up of the Food and Agricultue Organization in Rome which sees its role as uniting agricultural-producing nations like Australia and from around the world to tackle hunger and food security and using science to actually do it. It's a fantastic example of countries working together, like Australia, to use our expertise in primary production, and our expertise in science and innovation in this space to contribute to global hunger. So, I'm very proud of our government's commitment to always pursuing the national interest.
