WHETSTONE (Chaffey—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development) (14:40):</by>  I didn't hear what the Minister for Transport had to say about farmers this morning. As a farmer, and with a lot of community friends who are farmers, sometimes they don't always behave themselves, but that doesn't mean that they are a 'rogue idiot'. It might be the way that you interpret it.</text>
