My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and relates to the future of the Australian wheat industry. Deputy Prime Minister, further to your commitment to a Victorian wheat rally earlier this year of a poll of all growers if changes were proposed to wheat export arrangements, and given your statements earlier today that ‘Wheat growers are the people that matter,’ and ‘A full consultative process with industry will take place, importantly with growers,’ will you guarantee that a properly constituted poll of all registered wheat growers be undertaken on the various options being considered in relation to the single desk before any cabinet decisions are taken?
