I say to the member for New England: he does understand how this works because there were similar detections under the former government, of which he was a member, and he would understand how this works as a private facility. He would understand routine checks are done by my department. He would also perhaps be interested that we've added an additional $2 billion in investments to biosecurity because we will never compromise on biosecurity, unlike the former government that he was a member of.
