I would be interested to know from the member for Lingiari where difficulties are arising. As I understand it, AQIS makes use of Indigenous officers and, at the same time, our program for avian influenza also incorporates Indigenous communities. I am open to ideas on how to improve the involvement of those who are on the ground and best know the country, but as I understand it a significant number of individual Indigenous officers and communities more generally are involved in our biosecurity efforts.
