Question Time 23 February 2015
Mr FITZGIBBON (Hunter) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture. I refer the minister to the government's decision to amend the former Labor government's biosecurity reform bill to effectively abolish the position of Inspector-General of Biosecurity as we know it by removing his tenure and independence and many of his powers. Why did the government reduce the independent oversight of biosecurity and call it red-tape reduction?
