The South Australian government, through SA Health, has been working with the University of SA for a number of years, sampling metropolitan Adelaide wastewater every two months at various sites for a variety of drugs, and we have recently announced we will be sampling for alcohol. We have actually asked the commonwealth government to work with us to tell us which sites they will be sampling at as well but, at this time, we haven't had a response from them, I am advised.
