No, it is not what I am saying; it is what you are saying. The dishonesty of the government’s position in this debate is manifest. The government is putting down a piece of legislation which effectively says, ‘In the event that a yet to be formed body cannot be formed by 1 March to manage a multibillion-dollar export market, with all the arrangements in place to do that, we are going to revert to AWB.’ That is what the bill says.
