Thank you, Senator McGrath, for that supplementary question. I think the finance minister indicated there are a whole range of areas where, in the lead-up to the budget, there are issues under consideration. Coming from South Australia, I understand just how important the wine industry is to this country. We've seen the neglect of our trading relationship under the former government, in respect of China—the way in which you sat on your hands while we lost all that trade! You're suddenly interested in helping the wine industry in this country? What about the last two years when you sat on your hands? You had a chance to repair the damage to China, and you did nothing!
