On the root-and-branch review, we heard in the house recently that the supertrawler has been in planning for some years; the Commonwealth Fisheries Association recently said seven years. Will this review provide the information around the planning for the supertrawler, particularly the participants and the funding? An example might be the Francisco J Neira report in 2011. For example, who instigated that report and who funded that report?
