Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): Supplementary: I thank the minister for her update in terms of saleyard infrastructure. Can the minister also answer questions in relation to whether or not those infrastructure upgrades are on track for the key eID rollout date of January 2025? If they are not on track for that date, when will the minister be making a call on the producers' January 2025 date for eID tagging as they leave the property?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:23): The saleyards implementation date was set at 1 July 2025, so in terms of implementation each saleyard will no doubt be in a slightly different position in terms of implementation.
