BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing) (15:01): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker, and I thank the member for Chaffey for the question and the great work he does for his local area. I will be up there on Friday at Loxton, visiting the Riverland once again. It's a very important part of the state. The Murray cod restocking project is something that is still going ahead but, as I understand it, there's a lot of preliminary work that has to be done along the way, and some of that is quite technical. I am happy to give you some more information of exactly where it's up to, but I know that it's something that we did announce a while ago and that there is a lot of work to be done before we actually get to the stage of doing the restocking into the river.
