We have had this mock outrage from the Labor Party. Guess who started importing pulped and diced bananas? The Labor Party, of course. For many years Australia has imported processed banana product, so I thought I would check some facts—something those opposite chose not to do. Between 1993 and 1996, the amount of processed bananas that the Labor Party allowed into the country was 140 tonnes. They are complaining about the 11 tonnes of processed bananas but they let in 140 tonnes from countries such as Vietnam, Fiji, Tonga, Taiwan, Sri Lanka and the like.
