That is subjective. I have to re-iterate to Senator Lombard that the priority here has been to meet our regulatory requirements while also giving farmers the greatest choice possible and trying to minimise that impact on businesses that are in that space. It is a matter of trying to strike the right balance between all those different bits. Change is challenging for lots of different sectors in lots of different ways, but if we do not get this right, we will have a big problem down the line in terms of resistance to medicines that are important for our farming enterprises and our food production system.
