Minister's Recreational Fishing Advisory Council

Mr HUGHES (Giles) (14:22): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development. Did the minister, or his staff, meet with Horizon before or during any process to appoint them to the ballot for the Minister's Recreational Fishing Advisory Council?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:22): I have already said that we are going to provide a comprehensive update to the opposition—

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —regarding the process to appoint Horizon. We are excited about using the blockchain for the first time in Australia to conduct an election. It's been done in other jurisdictions around the world, but never before in Australia. I note those opposite—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left! We have the question; I would like to hear the answer.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —seem to all of a sudden become Luddites, whereas not that long ago they were in government basically running over inflatable kangaroos, promoting the latest in technology, but now, all of a sudden, in opposition they are absolutely appalled by the concept of moving into new areas of exploration and technology. We are not going to shirk the opportunities—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —to look at the opportunities that technology and digitisation provide. As I have presented to the house previously, we will get a comprehensive briefing and come back to the opposition with that information.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee and the member for Kaurna are warned. The member for Mawson is called to order and the member for Wright is also called to order. The father of the house has a question.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Thank you, my son.

The SPEAKER: Not quite.
