AUSTRALIAN YEAR OF THE FARMER

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:51): A supplementary question. Will the minister indicate the level of financial support the government has given to the Australian Year of the Farmer Ltd. to conduct the celebrations in South Australia?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:51): We will be contributing financially. I do not have the figure with me today but there will be some up-front monetary cost, but probably more important than that is the great deal of in-kind costs that our staff will be contributing to assist in a range of events and assisting in promoting material through our website and also through our other communications. There is a great deal of in-kind support as well.
