FARM FINANCE PACKAGE

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:23): I regularly do, minister.

The PRESIDENT: I'm tempted to call order.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: My supplementary, sir, is: given the desperate state of many farmers in South Australia, has or will the minister instruct her CEO to make getting this fixed priority number one?

The Hon. G.E. 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) (14:24): That's an offensive question, and the Hon. Robert Brokenshire knows that I always prioritise our primary producers' interests; he knows that, and he has often congratulated me on my efforts. He knows that it is a priority, not only for me, but he knows it is a priority for every single one of my officers within the PIRSA agency. They would take great offence, and I'm sure that he didn't really mean it, so I accept his apology.
