Marine Scalefish Fishery

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): My question is again to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development. Can the minister inform the chamber, following her decision to allocate additional quota units in the marine scalefish fishery, what now is the total allowable catch in kilograms, by zone and by species?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:39): I thank the honourable member for her question. As a result of the decisions that were required to be made to fix the appalling error of the former minister for primary industries, letters have gone out to all stakeholders outlining what the revised allocation's impacts are, and so that information is publicly available.
