Port MacDonnell Harbour

Mr BELL (Mount Gambier) (15:11): My question is to the Minister for Transport. Can the minister inform the people of Port MacDonnell when the Port MacDonnell harbour will finally be dredged?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:12): I don't have the detail of that; it's an operational matter. I will follow it up for the member, but I know that recreational fishing in South Australia is incredibly important. In the last budget, we put $40 million towards looking after rec fishers, to improve jetties and boat ramps, and also $20 million into bridges—so $20 million into each of those pots—

Mr Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Chaffey!

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD: —because of the neglect they had been left in by the previous Labor government. We are getting on and fixing it, but I will get the detail back to member.
