35680 (2026). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: Has MPI quantified the expected sensitivity of visual inspection for each relevant pest and life stage, and if so, what detection probabilities were assumed in concluding that inspection under clause 3.1 of the IHS for Fresh Blueberries for Human Consumption is an effective safeguard?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: I am advised that it was not necessary for the Ministry for Primary Industries to quantify the expected sensitivity of visual inspection because visual inspection is not relied on as the sole measure for managing pests under the proposed import health standard.
