Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Answers to Questions Answers to Questions Cattle Industry Fund Cattle Industry Fund The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council Cattle Industry Fund 124 The Hon. S.L. GAME ().28 September 2022). 1.	When the cattle industry fund establishment period is complete (as prescribed in the management plan), will the government update the process of cattle ear tag reimbursement to be in the same year of purchase? 2.	When will the Cattle Industry Fund's belated annual report be released? The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries Cattle Industry Fund The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised: The Cattle Industry Fund was established in 2000. The current regulations are due to expire in September 2026. Refund requests for the cattle industry fund are paid in the financial year after they are paid. This is largely consistent across industry funds and has been the case for the cattle industry fund since inception. This does enable efficiency in assessment of refund requests and batch processing of payments. Future updates to the operation of the cattle industry fund would be made in consultation with industry. The annual report was tabled in both houses of parliament on 18 October 2022.
