Environment and Food Production Areas

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:21): Supplementary: how many houses have been built on any of the land releases, the historic land releases of February 2023?

The PRESIDENT: You can answer it, minister, but I didn't hear anything about historic land releases.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:21): I am happy to add to it, and I can certainly seek additional information from the minister in the other place. I do think it's interesting, though, that the Hon. Michelle Lensink is contributing to this debate. I mean, she talked on 27 February at the UDIA conference saying:

It did come up last year, so without sort of revealing any of the discussions I may or may not have had with the minister and his chief of staff, we—

Presumably the Liberal Party—

are ready, willing and able to amend the act and the EFPAs. We have a lot of primary producers in the Liberal Party and they sort of you know point to parts of their electorate and go, 'You know, you will never grow anything decent on that, so why on earth is it in the EFPA?'

So I do think it's interesting that the Hon. Michelle Lensink is contributing, but maybe she would like to say what her party's view is on the changes that are proposed in this legislation.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
