          <by role="member" id="2742">The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:46):</by>  I have a supplementary question. Can the minister advise how much the publication was which appeared in this weekend's <term>Sunday Mail</term> which interestingly bears the government of South Australia's insignia and RecFish SA's insignia as the minister tried to say that they operate completely independently?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:46):</by>  RecFish SA is an independent industry body and, like many independent bodies, they receive various fundings from various organisations. But they are independent and I think they would take huge offence at the innuendo of the Hon. Michelle Lensink that somehow they are some sort of an appendage of government. I think they would take enormous offence that they are some sort of mouthpiece or appendage of government. They are not. They are independent. In terms of the publication and the cost of that, I would need to take that on notice and I am happy to bring that back as soon as possible.</text>
