Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the view of the apple industry that Biosecurity Australia’s assertion that it does not attack fresh apple fruit is wrong, and given that any increase in major quarantine incursions could devastate the apple industry’s biosecurity and future financial viability, why is the minister ignoring the apple industry and why has he not ensured that Biosecurity Australia stop the clock and do the further scientific investigation required to properly evaluate the risk posed by the Chinese fruit fly?
