Giant Pine Scale

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:17): Supplementary: can the minister confirm what I think she intimated, which is that, to the government's mind, the infection is contained and there are no additional areas that haven't already been eradicated? Which government agency is responsible for revegetation of the Elliston Reserve and the Silverlake Reserve?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:18): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary question. In terms of the first part, I was referring to the outbreaks that I had outlined. One of the difficulties with giant pine scale, as I mentioned earlier on in the question, is being able to make early detection. So it's certainly the case that we can't say that there are no additional detections—there certainly may be.

In terms of the revegetation, I am happy to take advice on that. I must admit that I am not as familiar with the north-east part of our city and the names of the different reserves and the ownership arrangements that are in place as I am with our regional areas, but I am happy to come back with an answer to that aspect of the supplementary question.
