FORESTRYSA

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:53): I have a supplementary question arising out of the minister's non-answer. As the Minister for Forests, can she tell us which section of the act—an act for which she is responsible—prohibits the minister from directing ForestrySA?

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) (14:53): I have already answered the question. The comments were in relation to a response made by the Treasurer and, as I said, I am sure that he had contextual parameters in which he made those comments. As I said, ForestrySA is an independent body. It has a charter to run on a commercial basis. I stand by and support its decision, and I certainly support and congratulate the efforts of the Treasurer.
