I will be exceedingly brief and just say, in response to Senator McLucas's comments about the coalition position, firstly, that I was not here, so I will be accountable and at least outline my own position. I also simply say that action on one front does not preclude action on many, and the logic that this somehow would delay action upon the broader front of labelling just does not make any sense. This is taking action on one particular issue which is of concern and using an effective regu­latory framework we have in place.
