I have looked at Dr. Onada's proposals for legislative changes to risk assessment on farms in view of what we have been hearing during the day. Most of the organisations have suggested that regulations and legislative changes should involve speaking to farmers and a preference for information and education rather than legislation. The proposals are very worthy. The risk of lung disease is something farmers should be well aware of. Does Dr. Onada believe it can be done by informing farmers and all their organisations without legislating? Does he believe it can be done through education and information sessions rather than legislation?
