but I stick to my assertion that the member has not understood the code. Let us get back to the charge that somehow the government has broken an election commitment. It is in black and white in the agriculture policy of the 2004 election that it is limited to the wholesale market sector. In all of the press releases—and you can imagine I have gone through a lot of the documents by Warren Truss, the then minister for agriculture—it has been specifically limited to horticulture. I concede there is one press release, and one press release only, from the member for Gwydir, then Deputy Prime Minister, and one sentence, and one sentence only, that is ambiguous.
