I suggest the minister spends more time reading his brief before he starts making accusations. I have a further supplementary question. Given the government's completely abysmal track record on agriculture including the failures on the export debacle, huge increases in our AQIS export, export fees and charges, failures in fisheries, the carbon tax we were not supposed to have, and the complete capitulation on forestry in Tasmania—how can industry have any confidence at all in this government and its management of the agriculture portfolio?
