Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
I felt Senator Quinn went a little overboard. The Minister of State may not be aware of it, but the Senator crusades against the Common Agricultural Policy at every opportunity. Coming from a farming background, I am entirely in favour of balance between trade and the CAP, but if one scraps the CAP, a lot of disadvantaged people, not just in existing EU countries, but also in the countries about to join, will suffer.
