Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the first container of Chinese apples arrived last month just as many farmers were suffering from enormous flood damage, what financial support is the government planning on giving Australian apple growers, in addition to financial support already in place for flood victims, in order to ensure that Australian farms can remain competitive and are not forced to close down during this time?
