The senator carries an imputation in the question ‘isn’t this yet a further corruption’, implying that there already is one. In the thousands of cases of any issue you will find one that is not as good as another. That will be the case. I do not have a full report on the meatworks at Murray Bridge and I can assure you that we are absolutely determined to ensure that isolated examples that are found are dealt with and dealt with promptly. The senator asked me, in effect, whether we would engage in a practice that might ensure the closure of the meatworks. I would be very reluctant to do that, Senator. (Time expired)
