STEPHENS Legislative Council Marine Parks The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:01): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Environment regarding the marine parks campaign. Leave granted. The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: I refer to an article in today's Advertiser newspaper about marine parks monitoring, which states: As jobs disappear from the fishing sector, the Government is providing funding to the [Conservation Council of South Australia's environmental lobby] to create new jobs to monitor the Marine Parks and fish species. How much does the Conservation Council of South Australia receive in annual funding currently, how much does the Conservation Council of South Australia receive in annual funding going into the future, and how much of that will be related to marine parks?

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:01): I thank the honourable member for his question. I would give him some tentative advice not to believe everything he sees printed in The Advertiser, of course, but I undertake to take those questions back to my agency and seek a response for him and to get those details as soon as I can.
