Algal Bloom

The Hon. V.A. TARZIA (Hartley—Leader of the Opposition) (14:15): My question is to the Premier. How and when was the Premier first advised that SA Health advice regarding asthma sufferers had changed in connection to the harmful algal bloom, and who provided such advice?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:15): That advice comes through the task force. The task force obviously has the Chief Public Health Officer on it, Nicola Spurrier—and we thank her for her work. The advice was discussed in that taskforce meeting and then we stood up, following that taskforce meeting, as we do at a press conference, and Professor Mike Steer drew people's attention to those preliminary test results we had received and the updated advice as a result of that.
