Request for information: 

"The information requested is the approximate (ball park) amount of money budgeted by GW for the financial 2022/23 year for the following: 

• Management and control activities for plants identified as (a) pests in the RPMS, and (b) unwanted organisms under the Biosecurity Act, including budget for specific targeted campaigns (e.g., Didymo, myrtle rust, velvetlear)
• Management and control activities for animals identified as (a) pests in the RPMS, and (b) unwanted organisms under the Biosecurity Act, including budget for specific campaigns (e.g., possum, deer, goat control) 
• On-farm biosecurity
• RPMS development and operational expenditure
• Biosecurity support/advice to organisations, community groups and individuals
• Surveillance/eradication programmes for biosecurity purposes
• Other biosecurity-related activities

I also want to find out if the budget allocation for the above biosecurity-activities has increased/decreased over the past 5-10 years and if there is an expectation that further increase/decrease is forecast in the next financial year."
