Senator Milne, I assume that you may be referring to some Caring for our Country funding decisions in relation to this issue. I do have some information about funding through Caring for our Country, including expressions of interest under the Australian Pest Animal Management Program, which are due to close Friday, 28 August 2009. It is also the case that the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts has, from memory, issued a report in relation to vertebrate pests. The senator may be referring to that. I have some information about the costs in relation to that. If there is further information that I can obtain from the minister for the environment, Senator, I will provide it to you.
