Senator McKENZIE (Victoria—Minister for Agriculture and Leader of the Nationals in the Senate) (14:00): Thank you very much, Senator McCarthy, and thank you on behalf of all the dairy farmers in the Northern Territory for your sudden interest in the dairy industry. We, on this side of the Senate, have long stood with our dairy farmers and our dairy industry to seek to assure that they have a sustainable and profitable future and that future generations of Australians can enjoy safe, nutritious dairy products produced right here in Australia. And it is why, at the last election, we committed to introduce a mandatory code of conduct on the back of the egregious behaviour of the milk processors against our dairy farmers, following the step-downs and clawbacks by Murray Goulburn and Fonterra back in 2015. In 2016, the ACCC inquiry we conducted actually recommended the mandatory code, and we're fulfilling that. Along with our commitment around the mandatory code, we also have $22 million worth of initiatives—everything from improving financial and legal literacy of our dairy farmers, their energy efficiency, support for— The PRESIDENT: Order, Senator McKenzie. I've got Senator Wong on a point of order. Senator Wong: A point of order on direct relevance. There was one question, which was: when did she decide to delay the implementation of the code? The PRESIDENT: On the point of order, you've reminded the minister of the question. Senator McKenzie's response can directly address issues around the timing of the code of conduct. I ask the minister to take note of that and call the minister to continue. Senator McKENZIE: Thank you very much, Mr President. That $22 million of additional support actually addresses the reason why our dairy farmers are doing it so tough—the increased fodder prices, increased electricity prices and increased water prices, which are putting incredible pressure on the input costs for our dairy farmers despite them getting a historically high farmgate price from the processors. In terms of bringing the dairy code forward and our election commitment to deliver that by June 2020, we have always been public in our statements that we will deliver the code as quickly as possible, because we know that right now milk processors are attempting to sign our dairy farmers up to contracts of in excess of five years, so, the sooner we can bring that in the better. But I've also said, we won't be introducing a code— (Time expired) The PRESIDENT: Senator McCarthy, a supplementary question?
