Most of the questions I had wanted to ask have been asked already, but I will ask Mr. Lucas just one question. What dialogue did the Department have with the nursery people, that is, the mushroom, vegetable and fruit people? They are in dire straits with what is coming down the tracks and facing them. They do not see the alternative that is being spoken about because I do not believe that the research into it has been carried out, and they would agree with that. This has a devastating effect on the horticultural industry, and I think very little thought has been put into it.
