I wish to thank the agriculture producers of Central Queensland who are fighting hard to protect their environment. They have faced a lot of criticism over category D, but recent developments have brought out the truth behind the Queensland government's reckless game. On 1 August, I attended a meeting in Mackay with producers, industry leaders and reps from the state government. Again, the state government tried to pull the wool over everyone's eyes and put blame on the federal government. The facts were put on the table, and everyone quickly realised that the state government had sorely neglected our producers in pursuit of projects that were never eligible.
