My question is to the Minister for Regional Development, Senator Nash. I refer to the minister's comment last week that 'there are some real synergies between regional development and agriculture'. In light of this, do you, Minister, stand by your statement on foreign investment:

We have already lost a number of Australian agribusinesses to foreign ownership. It’s time FIRB acted in the nation’s interest and put a stop to it.
