81883 (2024). Hon Jo Luxton to the Minister for Biosecurity: How does the Minister differentiate ‘back-office’ staff from ‘front-office’ staff?

Hon Andrew Hoggard: The Ministry for Primary Industries does not use the term ‘front-office’, but defines ‘frontline’ staff as statutory roles such as veterinarians, animal welfare, fishery and food compliance officers, or biosecurity teams at the border.
