Fruit Fly

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries. Can the minister advise the house whether any fruit fly restrictions that have been imposed on produce growers in South Australia have been lifted at any stage over the last 18 months?

The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development) (14:29): I thank the member for his question. The protocols that exist are there to manage the outbreaks to get eradication accredited by our trading partners. We follow those protocols. Unfortunately, we have not at this point in time had one of these outbreaks that has reached the required protocols to have the removal of the declaration on those particular zones but, as I stated previously, the Monash outbreak is very close.
