Royal Adelaide Beer and Cider Awards

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): How many of the craft brewers at the event that he opened will be representing the state at the Chiemgau beer festival in August?

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): That is an excellent question. I thank the honourable member for his question. I think the honourable member highlights, now, the very strong contribution the Minister for Trade is making. The Hon. Martin Hamilton-Smith, in the other place, makes a terrific contribution to this state. I will find an answer for him because I know he works exceptionally hard at making sure South Australian businesses can export to the world and their products are showcased. I thank the honourable member, who must agree what a good egg and great advocate he is—you could say he is an egg and advocate sandwich for this state.
