Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. Given that the funding for the Asian honey bee eradication program will end on March 31, just eight days away, does the minister concede that the end of this funding will increase the risk of irreparable harm to Australia’s honey bee industry and up to $6 billion worth of annual agricultural production?
