          <inserted>Under the Plant Health Act 2009, all imported consignments must be inspected prior to their release for sale in South Australia to ensure that the conditions of entry have been met. The inspections must verify that each consignment is not affected by pests such as fruit fly and are conducted so that at least 2 per cent of each consignment is inspected prior to release. I am advised that a 2 per cent inspection rate is consistent with international standards for inspections such as these. These practices are the same as adopted under the former Labor government. </inserted>
