My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Minister, can you confirm that your original proposal to exempt supermarkets from the mandatory code of conduct for the fruit and vegetable industry is now to be redrafted? Can you assure the House that Coles, Woolworths and other supermarkets will be included in such a redrafted code, as was indicated to producers, including those in my electorate, by the former Deputy Prime Minister prior to the 2004 federal election?
