52389 (2025). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: What level of Biosecurity's response is the yellow-legged hornet being monitored at, and what specific criteria are used to determine this?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: We do not have a level system for Biosecurity responses; however, the Ministry for Primary Industries is taking this response extremely seriously. They are providing significant resources to the response with the intent of eradicating the hornet.
