I have listened intently to what has been said. The difficulty is that most objective observers would agree the environment that led to the protests in recent times is such that it has been felt by producers across the board that the meat factories have been setting prices universally at a level that is absolutely unsustainable for farmers. The commission has been given reports before and has decided, on the basis of evidence, that the independent consultant reports received were to be disregarded and that it was going to agree to a merger and takeover. Would the commission acknowledge at this point in 2019, a number of years later, that it was wrong and the objective evidence suggests that its decision in 2016 and 2017 must have been wrong because the market prices are absolutely unsustainable for the primary producer at every single meat factory?
