Mr. Greg Ennis:

No. That is achievable.

The meat industry is the most regulated industry except when it comes to terms and conditions for workers. Traceability goes back to the farmer and there are strict regulations concerning the movement of animals. There are veterinary inspections overseeing the slaughter and butchering of carcasses. There are regulations right up to the consumer. This is perfectly right and proper. However, there is nothing but the statutory minimum wage, or a little above it, for workers.

On making Covid a notifiable disease in the meat plants, we need that regulation reinstated.
