GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:55):</by>  I don't know what the Hon. Tammy Franks means by 'true free range' because that is not a classification, and I do not have figures with that level of detail. I am not too sure what the relevance of it is. I have certainly given information here about what this government has been doing, why we have been doing it and how we intend to proceed in the future. As I said, I share her frustration with the slow progress towards a nationally consistent approach that provides consumers clear labelling around the issue of free range.</text>
