Deputy Speaker, by way of just trying
to assist the Leader of the Opposition, I assume that he is referring to
biosecurity-related matters. I receive briefings from my departments all the
time on all manner of things. My understanding is that there was no threat to
biosecurity in this instance. In the same way that it is a vast coastline and
it is difficult to have a copper in every bay, it is a vast coastal landscape
and, as a result, the biosecurity threats are very minimal.
