Varroa Mite

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:21): Supplementary: has the minister considered implementing information material regarding varroa mite, such as flyers, signage or digital alerts to be distributed to all travellers arriving on Kangaroo Island, as suggested by Kangaroo Island beekeeper Brenton Davis?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:21): Yes, at the meeting that I had, as I mentioned, with both recreational and commercial beekeepers we discussed a range of potential additional measures, including such as those that have just been raised, and we are looking into that at the moment.
