          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (16:19):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her supplementary. It's not about funding; it is about seeing what cruise lines wish to call in and what infrastructure—the different ships and the different sizes. It's actually about working with the cruise lines as to what vessels are available and the itineraries they want to work to. As I said, we are working to try to get ships into Victor Harbor. We are looking forward to an increased number. As I said in my answer to the previous question, we will have record numbers of passengers and record numbers of visits. It's a booming industry and we will continue to try to develop it wherever we can for the benefit of the South Australian visitor economy.</text>
