I thank the member for that
question.
My department was notified of a potential
issue at a station in the goldfields area and it attended that site and saw
problems. We are not talking about a huge number of cattle. It has taken action
to work with the proprietors of the station. I understand that now a contract
musterer has been engaged and we expect that muster to be completed by the end
of next week.
