House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Vineyard Resting Rebate Vineyard Resting Rebate Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Vineyard Resting Rebate Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (14:54): My question is to the Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science. Will the state government reopen the vineyard resting rebate scheme in time for the next vintage and, if not, why not? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain. Leave granted. Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Mr WHETSTONE: The scheme allows subsidised access to ethephon for red wine grapegrowers to put their vines on a production hold, opting out of the current vintage while maintaining optimal vine health during times of oversupply. Given that many South Australian growers continue to face oversupply challenges, wine industry experts expect high grower uptake of the scheme this year, in particular, if it were available. The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS House of Assembly Cheltenham Minister for Trade and Investment Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science Minister for Local Government Minister for Veterans' Affairs The Hon. J.K. SZAKACS (Cheltenham—Minister for Trade and Investment, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:54): I am happy to take that question on notice and seek inquiries from the appropriate minister who administers the scheme and come back to the shadow minister. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Bragg, a birthday question, four days late. Mr BATTY House of Assembly Bragg Mr BATTY: Thank you, sir, yes, belated.
