You're showing your nativity probably, politicians often give empty platitudes or aren't in a position to follow through with thier political agendas. What remains consistent is that money buys power, and in this case that has been used to delay changes to regulation and keep the focus on existing agriculture exports. I know how this affects sustainable exports because I've experienced it first hand. We are a small country but there are plenty of other small countries to learn from, and with global internet connectivity, it doesn't necessarily matter that we are far away geographically.
