NEW HORIZONS INITIATIVE

The Hon. G.A. KANDELAARS (14:37): By way of supplementary question, is the minister aware that the member for Flinders, Mr Peter Treloar, has been involved in PIRSA trials on soil improvements on the West Coast?

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) (14:37): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary. Indeed a number of people have been involved. A great deal of work has been done in attempts to improve our soils, and we see the New Horizons initiative as one more initiative for which this government has been able to provide additional money to help improve the productivity of our farmers.
