My supplementary question is: the protocols also provide that appropriate stakeholder consultation should be undertaken without significant cost recovery arrangements. Can the minister provide a working definition of 'appropriate' and provide a breakdown of how many stakeholders were consulted, including their relative size in terms of employees and turnover? Does the minister acknowledge that the current rules favour big agribusinesses and make life incredibly hard for small family farmers like Mick and Tanya Punturiero in the Riverland?
