House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Algal Bloom Algal Bloom Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Algal Bloom Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:02): Yes, we will, sir. Minister, are you aware of any other sporting events that have or will be cancelled due to the harmful algal bloom? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: That's a separate question. The Minister for Rec and Sport. The Hon. R.K. PEARCE House of Assembly King Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing The Hon. R.K. PEARCE (King—Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:02): Again, I would like to thank the member for his question on this matter. The member would be aware that there was another organisation that advised that they needed to cancel their event. That was a very specific event that has to happen on a very specific date for them to qualify for other events. For them, it was to ensure that they have a contingency plan in place because they do not want their athletes and swimmers to miss out on that operation. As I mentioned yesterday, we are working very closely with organisations through the department as well. We are asking for their information. We are putting together a calendar. We want to know when their events are, what they are looking at doing and what supports we can provide to give them every confidence. That goes, as I said, to facilities such as wash-down and asthma kits. It also goes towards components about what messaging assistance they need, what inquiries they are hearing from families and what supports they need to feel equipped to have those conversations to ensure that the sports that they love continue to go ahead and be a success in the coming summer months.
