The government is committed to the continued integrity of Australia's biosecurity arrangements. It is important that government agencies work effectively together to avoid unnecessary costs on business while ensuring their critical roles are fulfilled. It is important that this is done in a way that does not compromise Australia's biosecurity protections and quarantine capabilities, since that could compromise our competitive advantage and trade status, along with our agricultural and environmental integrity.

Question agreed to.
