Exotic Animal Diseases

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): My questions are to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development regarding exotic animal diseases:

1. Has PIRSA raised any concerns with the minister regarding the resources available to the department to participate in preparedness activities or surveillance activities relating to foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease?

2. Has PIRSA raised any concerns with the minister regarding the available workforce and allocated FTEs to help meet resource needs to participate in preparedness activities or surveillance activities relating to foot-and-mouth disease and lumpy skin disease?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:28): The department and I have regular meetings. Of course, a number of issues come up frequently within that. That covers a wide range of discussions in terms of what is the appropriate response and preparedness activities. As I mentioned in an earlier question, we have been working closely with industry as well as, for example, regional vets and so on in terms of the preparedness activities, and I am very happy with the way that those preparations have been continuing.
