That's what you would do. I understand the Liberals have got their political interests and the Greens political party has got its political interests—a sort of meme-led maugean-skate recovery strategy; a social media led environmental strategy—but, actually, if you really care about the people who work in this industry and a clean marine environment, you would back what the government is doing here. I offer this evidence for that proposition. First of all are the character, the background and the history of Senator Urquhart herself, Anne Urquhart, who began working at Edgell, or Birds Eye or whatever they were called then, in 1980 and has been backing Tasmanians workers her whole life, all the way through.
