FARM FINANCE PACKAGE

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): I have a supplementary question. The 'foreseeable future' is not good enough. When will we see this on the ground for our South Australian primary producers and, secondly, why is it under your leadership we are always tail-end Charlie? Why haven't you been at the front of the pack and had South Australia signed up first?

The Hon. G.E. 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) (14:23): When? When we have the best deal for South Australian farmers. This government is uncompromising. Unlike the opposition, we don't sell out our people. We don't sell out South Australians. We don't sell out South Australian interests. We stand and fight for the very best deal that we can get—and that is exactly what I am doing, and we are achieving wonderful things.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Brokenshire has a supplementary.

The Hon. G.E. Gago: You're going to congratulate me, aren't you, Mr Brokenshire?
