Seafood Industry

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:06): Supplementary: have there been any discussions about an interim report and has the minister committed to providing any interim or final report made publicly available to those sectors that are impacted by these changes, before recommendations are adopted?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:06): My advice is that I should be able to expect the report quite soon. It's pretty much on time in terms of the expected time frames and therefore I am not necessarily expecting that an interim report will be provided; therefore, obviously, if I don't have an interim report, I wouldn't be releasing a report.
