Xenophon, Sen Nick

Senator XENOPHON (South Australia) (14:55): I have a further supplementary question, Mr President. Can the minister justify why small producers like Mick and Tanya Puntiero of the Riverland in South Australia, lime growers, should be forced to change their business models either by moving out of exports entirely or by being forced to be part of a larger organisation because of a massive increase in fees, at least 300 per cent, without the short-term subsidy something like 1,300 per cent?
