Fruit Fly

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:34): I ask the minister: what additional resources is the department being provided with to facilitate the fruit fly response, or is her department expected to deal with the response within current resources?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:34): When there have been fruit fly outbreaks, my understanding is that over the past period, under the former government, the department would go and seek extra funding. They are continuing to do that, and that funding has been provided.
