Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Agriculture and Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:51): Thank you, Senator Hanson, for your question. Our government is taking credible action to support our dairy farmers and it's been doing that since day one. When Fonterra and MG clawed back money from dairy farmers, it was the National Party in government—Barnaby Joyce was the ag minister at the time—that called the dairy industry to Melbourne. I was actually in the room. We got the ACCC inquiry up and going. That was one recommendation of that. Anyone in this room who thinks a dairy code is going to solve every problem for the dairy industry in this country is kidding themselves. It is one part of a suite of initiatives to support this industry. Right now, we have historically high dairy prices, but our dairy farmers are doing it tough because they have incredibly high input costs. Electricity in your home state, Senator Hanson, for this perishable product is controlled by the Palaszczuk Labor government. So go and knock on their door for that one. Then there are water prices for those of us that have irrigated dairy. It's an incredibly high input cost. And the drought has driven the cost of fodder through the roof— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie, please resume your seat. I have Senator Hanson on a point of order. Senator Hanson: I'm listening to the explanation, but my question was on the new provision concerning circumstances outside the control of the processor. How did it come to be put in the exposure draft? That is all I want to know. How did that get into the code? The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson, you've reminded the minister of part of your question. The minister is allowed to be directly relevant to any part of the question. In my view, a discussion of the code that you referred to in your preamble does make her answer directly relevant. Senator McKENZIE: We as a government took to the election a commitment to deliver a mandatory code for the dairy industry to address the egregious behaviour of processors to farmers. We know that it's not the only issue. Prior to the election, the eight dairy regions in this country were heavily consulted through two consultations right across the country—not just with our dairy farmers but with the whole supply chain. The exposure draft of the code that is before the public now is actually the result of how those nine principles were consulted on with the dairy industry more broadly. It is not the endgame here. That's why we are out talking to industry and— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator Hanson, a supplementary question?
