All I can say is thank God for Senator White. Thank God for Senator Ciccone. Thank God for Senator Polley. Thank God for all the senators in this chamber who have an interest in agriculture, an industry that we thought the National Party cared about, but they need to be escorted onto a dairy farm to actually have an opportunity to milk a cow, it would appear. As I say, the UK FTA is not the only opportunity for Australian producers. The India free-trade agreement is also opening up massive opportunities that we're taking advantage of. We've already got avocados going in there. There's going to be a lot more. This government is opening new markets without the help of the National Party, and we're going to get on with it.
