Fleurieu Peninsula

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): A supplementary in relation to the answer given: apart from the outlined pub tour and winery crawl that the minister went on on the Fleurieu Peninsula, can he outline what the biggest export products are from the Fleurieu, in order?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:43): Clearly, tourism is one of the biggest exports. Of course, the wine sector now is worth $2.1 billion—nearly $2.18 billion, from recollection—and nearly $2 billion in exports for our nation. Wine is clearly one of the big exports from the McLaren Vale.

There are all of the other agricultural produce: milk, meat, cheese, all the things that you might like. It's an exciting part of the state, one that was neglected often by the former government and one that deserves more attention.
