Last week, we had an excellent debate on job creation and many of the ideas suggested by Senators related to quality food production.

The advisory group established by the Minister to deal with the thoroughbred horse industry is very successful but in light of the important role that show horses and half-breeds also play the countryside, is it his intention to establish a similar advisory group to deal with this aspect of horse breeding and does he have other plans to develop its potential?
