Port River Dredging

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:42): My question is to the Hon. David Ridgway, representing the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, the Hon. Stephan Knoll, regarding the dredging in the Port River and plans to dump 1.55 million cubic metres of spoil into Gulf St Vincent. Can the government provide a copy of any report or assessment conducted by Flinders Ports showing different options for dumping the spoil at sea and on land, and supply detailed costings of those options?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:43): I thank the member for his question. Of course, this has been a subject of much discussion over many months. There are some important facts and figures the member is requiring, and I will take his question on notice and refer it to the Minister for Transport in another place to bring back an answer.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Hon. Mr Pangallo, I'm not sure you can ask a supplementary on a referral. I am prepared to listen to it before I rule it out of order. Would you like to have a go?

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: No, no, it's okay.

The PRESIDENT: Well, 10 out of 10 for trying, but there's no way you can get a supplementary on that. The Hon. Ms Bourke.
