Senator TROETH (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry) (4:04 PM) —The intent of the legislation is to make the new company the industry services body and the export control body, but we have used the phrase that the minister may declare a body to be the industry services body to give him or her maximum flexibility in the future. As I have already described, the situation may arise in the future whereby this one body that has been designated to be both may not be fulfilling correctly its designated constitutional charter, according to the factors which he or she has to take into consideration, of being either of those two forms of organisation. Therefore, it is possible for the minister to declare another body as the industry services body or yet another one as the export control body. It is simply for a degree of flexibility so that, if this new company is not fulfilling its objectives properly, the minister may designate another body as that particular body. But obviously we assume that it would be doing just that.
