Well, Senator Bilyk, yes I do. We are very excited about the program we, as the National Party in government, continue to deliver for our regional communities, as we have for 100 years in this place. We're ensuring that not just our dairy farmers, through delivering a mandatory code six months' earlier than planned, but also our research and development corporations are fit for purpose in the 21st century. We're ensuring that we're going after new market access so that our beef industry, our fishing industry and our dairy industry have competitive prices around the world for our safe, sustainably harvested food production. We're making sure the changes we're making in workforce application right across the country ensure farmers have the workforce they need in the places, the areas they need them to get the crop off. We're making sure our water policy is right, because in this country you can't grow anything if you don't have your water policy settings right. I am absolutely confident in our agenda to deliver for agriculture. (Time expired)
