I thank the member for Kennedy for his question. I can confirm that tomorrow the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry and I will be at a meeting where the code of practice for horticulture will be discussed. Under the proposals that have been circulated to the participants, we envisage a discussion will take place about a legally enforceable contract, a contract which can therefore be, if broken, taken to a court of law. Also, the code of practice will entail a dispute resolution process and an ombudsman. As soon as I am able to give further final detail of where those discussions travel to, I will pass them to the member for Kennedy and the House.
