Okay. That is very good to hear.

The last point I want to raise, which others have also brought up, is about wildlife crime. I want to get some understanding of the process. If somebody comes to the NPWS either to report what he or she believes to be a wildlife crime or the NPWS ranger goes out and investigates, who is responsible for making the decisions on prosecutions? Is it the Minister, the NPWS, or is it done on a regional basis? When somebody brings evidence or has done an investigation in terms of wildlife crime, who gets to decide on it?
