Kangaroo Island Bushfire Response

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson) (14:55): My question is again to the Premier. What did the Premier do on Kangaroo Island on the night of Thursday, 30 January during the Liberal Party love-in?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:55): On the evening of 30 January, we had a briefing from Pierre Gregor, who is the chair of the Kangaroo Island tourism association. He presented a document and details regarding efforts on Kangaroo Island—some of the immediate concerns that operators on the island were receiving.

This event was well attended by members of the Liberal party room. It is fair to say that we were all very concerned about the immediate, medium term and longer term implications of the fires that had occurred there. We were very grateful for the work that he had put in to the presentation that he gave, and there will be ongoing follow-up with Mr Gregor and other members of the very important tourism sector on Kangaroo Island.
