This is not my first speech. Senator McDonald has pipped me at the post. My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, Senator McCarthy. Your government recently opened a new front on its war on Australian farmers by lifting science based restrictions on United States beef imports without any consultation with our own beef producers. This follows the decimation of our sheep industry with your cruel ban on live exports, most keenly felt in my home state of Western Australia. Minister, why is your government intent on crushing these world-leading livestock industries and the lives of Australian farmers?
