Written Submissions Parks & Wildlife Commission NT Volume 2 Cane Toad Inquiry Report 25 Dr WOINARSKI: What youre saying that pamphlets not?

Madam CHAIR: Yeah, were fast tracking our body of information as a committee so that we can aim to give something to parliament hopefully by mid-year, at the latest because of the rate of impact and the ability for us to provide the advice to parliament then, speeds up the process of parliament making decisions on that. Dr WOINARSKI: Get the report in before the toads get here.
