Giant Cuttlefish Population

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:13): Supplementary: part of the question was whether it been activated, in light of the fact that there is video on YouTube showing that it seems to be working. Has it been activated?

The Hon. K.J. Maher: It could be AI, Frank.

The PRESIDENT: Deputy Premier, interjections are out of order. Don't interrupt the minister when she is prepared to answer the question.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:13): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary, but since I don't know what particular video he is referring to, whether it is indeed AI-generated or whether it is an actual video, I would have to ask the honourable member to send me the reference, which I hope would be complete and accurate.

However, what I can say is my understanding from memory is that it was turned on to make sure that it was working, essentially—I am using very much layperson's terms—but it hasn't needed to be activated because the harmful algal bloom has not reached that area. I would have thought those opposite, and the member in particular, would be pleased that was the case—that we could actually celebrate the fact that the harmful algal bloom has not reached the giant Australian cuttlefish area, but that we were prepared with additional mitigation measures if that had occurred.
