Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Finally, does the minister concede that there is an inconsistency in that Australian citrus growers are banned from using carbendazim, but we can bring in imports containing carbendazim? What advice does the minister have as to the impact that has on Australian citrus growers, who are struggling after years of drought and now a high Australian dollar in competing fairly with these imports?
