Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. To the contrary, I have been listening intently to what the minister has said. More to the point, the Australian government has invested millions of dollars in the National Livestock Identification System so we can track animals from one paddock to another and all round Australia. Why can't we use this system to immediately resume exports to those abattoirs that have done nothing wrong and that have done the right thing and complied with our standards and have been of great benefit to Northern Australia?
