Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Agriculture Minister Barnaby Jones disagree on product labelling rules. Joyce believes that stricter rules are necessary to protect consumers from health hazards. At least 11 Australians have contracted hepatitis after eating imported Chinese berries. Abbott opposes new regulations because they would lead to a greater bureaucratic burden for companies and higher prices for consumers
