My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for the Environment and Water. Fire ants are currently on the march from Brisbane. We'll have a huge issue, obviously, if it gets out, with a reduction in the cattle herd—a reduction of around 40 per cent. It'll be one of the most devastating things that happens to the fauna of Australia, from koalas and echidnas to basically anything that travels along the ground. It's going to be devastating to the lifestyle of Australian people. We need funding by MYEFO. What is your plan?
