FOOD AND WINE INDUSTRY

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): A supplementary question, and I apologise to the chamber, why haven't you published the South Australian Food Users' Guide in Chinese?

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) (14:46): A great deal of our literature has been translated into Chinese. We are looking at what elements of that guide are appropriate to the Chinese market and we plan eventually to translate that into Chinese. That particular piece of literature is not necessarily appropriate or suitable for that particular market. We need to streamline it and have information presented in appropriate ways with appropriate photography, etc. that picks up on the values from that market and highlights those values. Our market is slightly different, but as I said we are very committed to this. We have already translated a number of our key premium food and wine messages into Chinese and have distributed those extensively, and we are very proud of that.
