Medical Cannabis

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): Further supplementary question: the minister said his office had met, so has the minister discussed establishing a cannabis industry with Mr Yeend in South Australia, and what support has the government offered Mr Yeend in relation to this business or past business ventures?

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) (14:33): I've met with representatives of that corporation, and I know that my department has discussed with representatives. I suspect the Hon. David Ridgway, at the hemp and cannabis round table, probably met with representatives of that corporation and had discussions with them as well.
