I might not be around. I know 3,000 farmers exited the AEOS. Does the Minister have views on what might be available for those farmers down the line in that regard? On the TAMS, has there been an increased focus from applicants on climate action measures? Is that a driving force for the TAMS increase or does the Minister envisage the environmental issues and climate action being driving forces for an increased budget for the TAMS? That increase was welcome. There were a number of other areas such as farm safety issues that we were trying to get included in the TAMS. The BEAM and the control of horses are the main issues I am somewhat taken aback with because there is a reduction in the requirements.
