Perhaps Senator Abetz is not aware of it but, given the shenanigans that occurred with this legislation in the first place—it had to be amended within days of it being introduced because of uproar in the government ranks, but this is something that has been missed—the reality is, if the government does not pass this legislation, the only conclusion can be that the government is comfortable with the proposition that from 1 July next year AWB International and AWB Limited together can come back into the picture and run the single desk, because that is what this legislation means. It is as simple as that.
