FOOD AND WINE INDUSTRY

The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:15): I have a supplementary, Mr President. The minister said a great deal of work has been undertaken. When will pilot programs receive their first funding for projects, given that her own press release announced funds would be available from 1 July this year?

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) (15:16): The funds are available for those initiatives that are identified by local stakeholders, as needed. It might be that they need someone on the ground to broker activity and work. It might be to access some of PIRSA's services and facilities. Depending on what the particular initiative is and what the stakeholders identify as their needs, those funds are available. As I said, it is a matter of industry identifying those needs, and those moneys are available to assist.
