I move:

That the Senate recognises:

(a) the addition of Peru as an export market for kangaroo meat, with the first commercial size shipment of about 1 000 kg of product leaving our shores in February 2015 and headed for supermarket shelves in Lima; and

(b) That the Federal Government, through the Department of Agriculture and Austrade, has been working with the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia and the exporter since 2008 to negotiate market access to Peru, and that these extensive negotiations between Australian and Peruvian authorities included agreements on import conditions, health certification and the process for approval of Australian export establishments.

Question agreed to.
