I thank Mr. Fitzgerald for his presentation and I welcome the witnesses. This is one of the biggest injustices against a section of the rural community I have come across in my time in politics. In his presentation Mr. Fitzgerald stated 169,000 ha are owned by 4,400 farmers. To my knowledge a very small percentage of them received payments for a period of time after entering into contracts. What percentage of the 4,400 received a package?
