Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. The minister has stated that the field veterinary work on the Hendra virus is being undertaken in Queensland by the CSIRO. Given that this fieldwork is actually undertaken by the Queensland DPI veterinarians, funded in part at least by the Australian Biosecurity CRC for New and Emerging Diseases, will the minister now correct his answer and will he tell the Senate which government body will carry out this work into the future?
