| Message | I agree entirely with RSDP. It should stay a matter for the federal government. I am in favour of the option that farmers are required to list the chemicals they used, though. But, there should also be limited amount of pesticides that farmers may use. |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
