MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier, Minister for Defence and Space Industries) (14:45):</by>  What I referred to was the lengthy piece of work that was done by those agencies. No doubt, they will appear before committees. There's a parliamentary inquiry here, and there's one being conducted federally. We have supported the parliamentary inquiry. Officials are available for scrutiny. Any information that can be furnished should be.</text>
        <text id="2025103029aecb6e39534cc4a0000471">We have had an open book on the science. All the data we get, we publish. Other scientists scrutinise it. There's no shortage of commentary around that. Let's think about it this way: I don't know how it would be in the interests of PIRSA or SARDI for them to authorise a transfer of one oyster from one region to another that solves one problem but creates a bigger one. I don't know why they would possibly be motivated to do that. They are not motivated to do that. What they are motivated to do is make the right decision by the industry as a whole. It has come a long way over recent months. They are making a decision on the basis of science and I think that's what we have a responsibility to back.</text>
