When has that ever happened? These are part-time people and will be there to assist during a certain period. Larger farming enterprises have such people coming in on a regular basis. The normal people know the score, they know what to do and know what is necessary. What we do not want is someone coming in once and making a decision which may be detrimental to the farming fraternity. That is not what we are saying. We are reflecting the fact that there are part-time people who work as farmers and they should equally have the same support and recognition within the legislation.
