I am pleased to talk about the Farm Household Support Amendment Bill 2017, but I want to start off with a little tact, and that is to say that farmers do not want support. Farmers do not want support.

Ms McGowan interjecting—

Hold on. If you talk to the average farmer, you will find that, when they set out, they do not set out to be reliant upon the government. They do not set out to try to seek support. What they set out to do is something that is unique, and that is to turn water, sunshine, soil and effort into profitability.
