Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Why has it taken the government more than the 100 days that it promised fruit and vegetable growers it would take to produce this code, given that we are now well into the second year of this government? Why has the government ignored the pleas from the likes of Senator Boswell, Senator Joyce, Senator Heffernan, the member for Hinkler, the member for Mallee, the member for Blair and the member for Hume, urging that the promised code be delivered? How much longer do fruit and vegetable growers have to wait before the government actually does what it promised to do within 100 days of the election? When will the government deliver on its promise?
