The Hon. B.R. HOOD (14:53): Can the minister advise the chamber if the government will provide additional resourcing, given that one could assume that there will be more businesses and fishers likely to provide an application now that the eligibility criteria has been expanded?

SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:53): As I said, we have made a commitment to meet that timeframe of 15 days, and I see no reason why that would not be met.
