Mr. Niall McCormack:

I have seen four or five years where Government agencies are looking for a report on something because they do not believe us. The work permit section is looking for employment reports when it knows damn well that we are at full employment. We had to get Mr. Jim Power to put together a retail price compression document. Frankly, I smile. Unless something is done, we will not have a horticulture sector. As the Senator rightly pointed out, our soil is suitable. We have a great climate in this country. Take Southern Europe as an example. It has problems with heat and everything else. We are in an ideal situation. I smile at this sudden glib line about looking for another 30% when we are in this situation. We are losing good growers, as Ms Brennan knows, who have years of experience.
