My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, you say you want to have a conversation about taxation in Australia, and that is your right. So let's talk about modelling by AUSVEG, as reported in The Weekly Times, which shows that a GST on fresh food would lead to a five per cent reduction in vegetable production. When will you front up to a conversation with Australia's producers and growers about your plan to hit fresh food with a 15 per cent GST?
