Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Further supplementary: how can producers currently purchase these subsidised tags?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:40): They will be able to purchase the subsidised tags from 1 July, is the intent. However, I also announced that those who had already purchased tags from 1 January this year for this year's lambing season would receive a subsidy—in a way, a retrospective subsidy from 1 January this year.

There have been a number of producers who have been very forward thinking, who have been early adopters for electronic ID, in addition to those who have perhaps been using eID for a number of years for productivity purposes. I did announce in the package last week that that would include a subsidy for those who had already purchased. In terms of the mechanisms to do so, we are working through that with the department, and I will be able to make information very soon—

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Are you finished? Thank you. We will be able to advise of the administrative arrangements in due course.
