          <inserted>In regard to the first part of the question, I mentioned the early detection of giant pine scale can be difficult so we can't say for certain there will be no additional detections in the coming months. We can say that comprehensive surveillance efforts by industry and agencies are minimising the risk of infestations being left undetected for long periods. This means land managers will be notified of detections as soon as possible and can act swiftly to prevent further spread.</inserted>
