TASTING AUSTRALIA

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): I have a supplementary question. I apologise to the chamber for having the minister on her feet again.

The PRESIDENT: What is the supplementary?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Was the minister preparing to make an announcement at the Australian Food Bloggers Conference, held earlier this month, in relation to a working group for the event?

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) (14:59): I was not prepared to make any announcement at that date. Again, it is an absolute nonsense. The opposition comes into this place and goodness only knows where they get their information: I think they just make it up. I had no intention of making any announcement that evening—none whatsoever.
