That’s very good; we will take your word for the whole thing and railroad it through because you are happy with it. That sounds like good process to me—not! Anyway, the point is that it is as much about process as it is about what happens specifically and what people’s policy views are on the wheat industry. Senator Macdonald may have had an inside view on all of this, and looked at it in detail—and I am glad he is happy about it—but I think there are a full range of people we should hear from. The simple fact is that making significant extra changes without properly scrutinising, without properly consulting the full range of people who are affected, really presents some problems.
