Hon MEKA WHAITIRI: We understand that some researchers from Otago have been studying farmers' experience in the M. bovis programme. We believe this work is still under way, and have not received a formal report. The programme understands that the farmers surveyed were affected in the early stages of the programme. We know the M. bovis eradication effort has been challenging for farmers involved, but has substantially improved over the course of the programme. We have listened to a lot of farmer feedback, and our programme staff have been very focused on farmer welfare, including getting farmers through the process faster, with more support and shorter turn-around times for farms under movement restrictions. Alongside our partners, we have improved the compensation process, with claims paid as quickly as possible. We and our partners DairyNZ and Beef + Lamb New Zealand are continuing to work hard to support the wellbeing and recovery of those impacted by M. bovis.
