and Fisheries:
Whether she intends reviewing the current abalone fish levy; if not, why
not; if so, what is the justification for the current levy? NW1724E

All fees are reviewed annually including the abalone levy. The current fees
were set after a consultation process with industry. The levies are
contributing towards the research and compliance cost of the abalone
industry.
