Royal Adelaide Beer and Cider Awards

The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (14:38): Further supplementary: can the minister be slightly more specific and provide me with a number in relation to the number of people employed—given it is such a great industry that he has described?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:38): Quite many and growing. As I have said, the value of the exports are some $75 million of exports, and another $78 million to interstate exports. I will see if there is a figure that takes in totality the industries that also support the beer and cider industries, like the fruit-growing industries that go directly to those. If there is such a figure, I will bring it back to the honourable member.
