Ms Hazel Sheridan:

In answer to the Senator's question, the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine certainly has sufficient capacity in terms of staff but we are keeping the situation under review.

When the country opens up and a lot of hospitality gets going again, we would expect that will increase the amount of controls we have to do. We have approval for the recruitment of additional staff should we need them. We think at the moment we are well set up for any changes that might come in the future.
