I have spoken in regard to the implications on primary production and how important it is for our primary producers, particularly in the South-East. I have advocated in terms of the benefits to the regions and the benefits to the regional economy. I have advocated in regard to many different factors, and my office has been in contact with several of those ministers on a number of occasions.
