FREE-RANGE EGGS

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:54): I have a supplementary question. Of those eggs that are imported into our state, how many are true free range?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:55): I don't know what the Hon. Tammy Franks means by 'true free range' because that is not a classification, and I do not have figures with that level of detail. I am not too sure what the relevance of it is. I have certainly given information here about what this government has been doing, why we have been doing it and how we intend to proceed in the future. As I said, I share her frustration with the slow progress towards a nationally consistent approach that provides consumers clear labelling around the issue of free range.
