Yabby Nets

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:37): Further supplementary: when was it first communicated to the public about the ban?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:37): Permitting the pyramid-style nets was certainly one of the indicators. The Leader of the Opposition in this place needs to be aware that this is a type of discussion that has been around for quite some time.

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: She's interjecting and saying that—

The PRESIDENT: Interjections are out of order.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Indeed, interjections are out of order.

The PRESIDENT: And so is responding to them.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: I wouldn't refer to her interjection that said that introducing a new type of net doesn't indicate the phasing out of an old one, and I would perhaps beg to differ on this particular occasion. The narrative around the reasoning for introducing the pyramid nets was very clearly linked to the problems with the opera house style yabby nets.
