The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Supplementary: is the minister alarmed about what is stated in the paper regarding the serious health effects, given it states in that paper that inhaling brevetoxins from whatever species produces them can lead to serious health effects, including shortness of breath, asthma exacerbation, bronchoconstriction and bronchitis pneumonia?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:33): That health advice is consistent with what has been issued to date.
