The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:27): Supplementary: I thank the minister for her response. I just want to get an answer to the third question, if that's okay, on whether her department has made any requests for additional resources to support those proposed initiatives.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:27): As I mentioned in my original answer, this is a national problem.
