ear Ministry for Primary Industries,

How many times has the chief Technical officer approved the release by individuals and councils to release the Rabbit Haemorrhagic virus under the terms of under sections 52 and 53 of the biosecurity act in 2015 and 2016.

How many times permission was given to release the Rabbit
Haemorrhagic Virus, what dates were the releases authorised to take
place on, what locations were the releases authorised to take
place, who or what organisation was the permission given to on each
occasion and what were the reasons for the release. what risk
assessments were undertaken and the results?

the biosecurity act how many times permission was refused to
release the Rabbit Haemorrhagic Virus

How many people have been prosecuted for releasing the Rabbit Haemorrhagic virus under sections 52 and 53 of the biosecurity act,
