Fruit Fly

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries. Can the minister inform the house if the source of the outbreak of Jarvis' fruit fly now living in South Australia has been traced, what action has been taken to prosecute the offending distributor of mangoes, and the difference between Jarvis, Mediterranean and Queensland fruit flies?

The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development) (14:41): I thank the member for her question. I will need to seek some further information to come back to her and to understand the complexities around her question in relation to the species of flies. I will come back to her with a response.
