We are in discussions with Labor states and we are in discussions with Liberal states. We do not pick any favourites here. We want the states to be able to provide these concessional loans to farmers who need them. But my door is open. I will continue to consult and discuss with states to see if we can find a way forward to get the 4.5 per cent concessional loans on the ground. What we will not do is give up, as the states look like they have. (Time expired)
