Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. The report states that honey bees contribute directly to between $4 billion and $6 billion worth of agricultural production annually because of pollination and it makes recommendations in relation to biosecurity to ensure the industry is not decimated by outside pests. Which of the 25 recommendations in the report has the government implemented to protect this vital contribution?
