Feral Pigs

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:39): Supplementary: if the additional $191,250 is not sufficient to remove all of the feral pigs from the island, will the Malinauskas Labor government commit to further funds in the future?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:39): The information that we have at present is that the additional funding that the Malinauskas Labor government is providing will be sufficient to be able to eradicate and, just as importantly, as I mentioned in the original answer, to prove freedom from this pest and have the monitoring cameras in place, as well as the eDNA collection.
