35677 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: How many audits, if any, has MPI conducted, or does it plan to conduct, of exporting country pest free areas, pest free places of production, or treatment facilities under the draft IHS Fresh Blueberries for Human Consumption and comparable existing IHSs for fresh produce?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: The import health standard has not been issued and, therefore, export markets cannot be the subject of an audit.
