Question Time

Heysen Trail

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): I seek leave to make a very brief explanation before asking the Minister for the Environment a question about public liability insurance on the Heysen Trail.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Yesterday I asked the minister whether the Heysen Trail and bike trails nearby the Yourambulla Caves were covered by the state government public liability insurance. Indeed, I have checked and the management of the Heysen Trail falls under the minister's jurisdiction. My questions to the minister are:

1. What are the public liability insurance arrangements for tourist attractions such as the Heysen Trail?

2. It would appear from his inability to answer yesterday that attractions such as Yourambulla Caves are not covered. He will have to take this on notice because the very good hardworking people in his office I am sure will know it, but he will not: can he provide a list of all of the state tourism attractions that are publicly accessible that are not covered by state government public liability insurance?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:20): I thank the honourable member for his most important question. I will have to check whether that is directly my responsibility or we share responsibility with another minister and get back to the honourable member with an answer.
