I move:

That the Senate—
(a)
notes with concern recent developments in the Tasmanian red meat industry; and
(b)
calls on Swift Australia Pty Ltd to deal fairly with the Australian hide and skin company Cuthbertson Brothers Pty Ltd, and others, in its operation of its Tasmanian abattoirs.

Question agreed to.
