Apple Imports

My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Australian pear and apple growers are concerned the government is seriously considering allowing the import of apples from the United States, and that's despite a biosecurity risk and our growers already being under financial pressure to survive on narrow margins. Will the government rule out the import of American apples and protect this vital industry?
