Nature-Based Tourism

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:07): I have a supplementary question.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Can the minister explain why the government, given his answer to the question, has cut funding across the forward estimates to SATC?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:07): I am not sure that is accurate. The Hon. Mr Ridgway's propensity to not understand how budget papers work would lead me to say that I perhaps should not accept his question at face value. I will refer that question to the Minister for Tourism and get an educated response for him.
