QuestionView source ↗
(1) Does the Department of Agriculture still have its own economic analysis capability? (2) If so, has it, or any other agency, analysed the cost impact of the new livestock cartage regulations on the farming and pastoral industry? (3) If not, will the minister have such an analysis conducted and table the findings in the House? Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
(1) Yes, the Department of Agriculture does maintain an economic analysis capacity. That capacity is, by and large, not in a single unit, but is allocated to programs, and in large part is concentrated around the Rural Business Development Corporation, which has a considerable economic analysis capacity available to it. (2)-(3) I cannot, without some notice, say whether the economic analysis capacity has been used to carry out an analysis of the cost impact of the new livestock cartage regulations. I will have to consult with the department. It is possible that some analysis has been done, because I am aware that the department was consulted in the construction of that policy. That is something I will have to check for the member. I will make inquiries and respond directly to the member during the coming recess.
