JO LUXTON (Chairperson of the Primary Production Committee): Thank you, Mr Chair. It's a pleasure to rise and take a call as the chair of the Primary Production Committee. I'd just like to acknowledge my fellow committee members; we are a great committee, very collegial, and we get some really good work done. This year we looked at the fisheries appropriations. The total appropriations this financial year are $82.6 million. It's estimated to be 13.7 percent less than the estimated actual expenditure of 2021 and 2022, and $65.4 million is to inform, assist, direct, and enforce adherence to fisheries laws. We heard from the Minister about this.
