Thank you very much. So when did we first hear about this outbreak? On Twitter, where the then minister for agriculture decided to announce that to Australian people via a tweet on 9 May. And what did he do? He offered a briefing to the opposition, as per our caretaker arrangements. But then what did you do? Absolutely nothing! Nothing! You did nothing!
