Marine Scalefish Fishery

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:01): Further supplementary: is the government also intending to remedy the adverse impacts this decision will have on other licence holders who bought quota on the open market and will be adversely impacted by this decision?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:01): I think the member would need to explain what adverse impacts she is referring to there. I say that in particular because the way we have been able to approach this mess that was left to us by the previous government is to be able to increase the total allowable catch, which means that those who currently hold a quota will not be impacted this year or next year by the changes, which have been necessitated by the pro-rata policy made under the former Liberal government, which has been found to have no legal foundation.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: Further supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: Final supplementary.
