The government does not support this inquiry. The APVMA is an independent and competent regulator of agrichemicals. The government has taken steps to further protect its independence by introducing legislation to have a skills based board to protect transparency and accountability of the APVMA and its functions. Rather than waste time on an inquiry, the opposition should back the bill.
