Algal Bloom

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (16:59): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier asked the federal government to declare the algal bloom a natural disaster and, if so, when did he do it?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (16:59): Yes, and I have not just said it publicly, I have also said it privately.

The Hon. V.A. Tarzia: When?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS: I am happy to go back and check the public transcripts, but I think they are there for the public to see.
