Space Sector

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:16): Supplementary arising from the answer: can the minister outline which minister has primary responsibility for the promotion and development of the space industry in South Australia?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:16): I thank the honourable member for his question. It's a whole-of-government approach across our nine sectors. We have the nine priority sectors, as identified by the Joyce review. Often, a minister will make contact, whether it be the Premier or another minister, through their network and their activities, but in the end a lot of the grunt work about getting the investment on the ground is done by the Department for Trade, Tourism and Investment. It's a whole-of-government approach. We are a cabinet government. We share the responsibilities and we share the benefits of this for all South Australians when we get companies such as Tyvak to invest in South Australia.
