MELINA BATH (Eastern Victoria) (13:42): (14) My question is to the Minister for Agriculture. The 2020 avian influenza cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of productive birds and countless wild birds in Victoria. With the imminent risk of another avian flu outbreak, how many AgVic staff have been allocated to ensure avian flu does not enter Victoria?
and I thank her for her response – talks about working with farmers, so my supplementary is: what steps have you taken to engage with the productive bird sector – the farmers – so that they are prepared for an avian influenza incursion?
