Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Does the minister agree with his colleague the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, who said at the Australian Food and Grocery Council Conference three weeks ago:

For many years Canberra, both political and bureaucratic have thought of food in a siloed way which suits and reflects the way Government does business, but not the way business does business.

Isn’t the minister’s decision to form a second food industry group just another government silo?
