          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:53):</by>  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?</text>

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):</by>  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.</text>
