Fishing Restrictions

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries on the topic of fishing restrictions. What criteria or scientific thresholds need to be met for fishing restrictions to be either lifted earlier or further extended?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:58): There is a provision for exceptional circumstances in fisheries' management and, obviously, the harmful algal bloom is an exceptional circumstance.
