CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, Minister for Workforce and Population Strategy) (15:03):</by>  Yes, it is wonderful that we are doing country cabinet again, a practice that was suspended for four years—although understandably, perhaps, with COVID, but I'm not sure what the reason was for the first two years of the Liberal government term of office. It is wonderful to have gone back to having country cabinet and being able to have all of the members of cabinet out meeting people and listening to them. We are shortly to be going to Port Lincoln and I am currently finalising my list. I would be extremely pleased to meet with anyone associated with EP Cruises to hear their concerns. That is the point of a consultation process.</text>
