Question

The Minister has stated that rock lobsters are a $6 billion resource, how did the Government reach this value and will the Minister table the modelling used to establish this figure?

Answered on 11 April 2019

I have stated that the western rock lobster resource is currently worth more than $5 billion (not $6 billion) consistent with industry valuation. For example, industry information indicates that the total capital value is estimated at $5.2 billion.
