CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Workforce and Population Strategy) (14:49):</by>  I will return with a longer and more detailed response for the member, and anytime she would like a briefing also I would invite that to happen because that is a very important part of her electorate. I was just discussing this the other day with Chris Daniels, the chair of Green Adelaide, concerned that, having made it all the way from Alaska and other places in the far north, there may be a shortage of food. So we are discussing what might be feasible, but I don't have any detail about what approach might be possible, either, so I will get back with a more detailed response.</text>
