As I said, Senator Milne, I do not have the detailed information in relation to the subject matter of your question. I will see if I can obtain some advice on that issue. As I said, I am unclear as to whether or not this is a Caring for Our Country program to which you are referring; if it is, obviously I can provide that information, because that is administered by the ministers for the environment and agriculture. As I said, I think everybody in Australia understands we have a range of invasive species and pests which have had an impact on our environment and our economy over the last couple of hundred years, so this is an ongoing issue that governments have sought to manage through different parties being in government.
