Hon DAMIEN O'CONNOR (Minister of Agriculture): Firstly, can I say that all decisions have been made to reduce the harm from COVID-19, all through this process. In answer to the question why: because that was correct at the time. The initial health order was stood up swiftly, as was necessary. A new health order was subsequently issued, making some alterations to protect against the spread of COVID-19 that allow for the movement of critical primary sector workers. We committed to work with the industry to solve issues as they emerge, which we have done and continue to do. Primary sector leaders want us to do everything possible so that we don't have to move up a level or stay under any extended restrictions. In answer to the second part of the question, yes, exemptions are required to cross the level 3 boundary for work purposes. The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) worked with industry groups and the Ministry of Health over the weekend to expedite travel exemptions for dairy, horticulture, and poultry workers.
