My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Given that the government will deliver only part of its promised mandatory horticulture code of conduct by exempting retailers, the major supermarket chains, food processors and exporters from compliance, how can the code protect growers? Will they or consumers be expected to bear the cost of this inadequate code? What is the expected cost?
