Minister for Trade and Investment

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:28): Supplementary arising from the answer: can the minister advise what makes tourism more of a key economic driver on the road to recovery than trade or investment?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:28): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary. Clearly, this is a decision that I support 100 per cent. The Premier has made the call as the Leader of the Government to take the tourism portfolio to rebuild especially the Kangaroo Island and Adelaide Hills economies. Now, with coronavirus and some of the other impacts on our tourism sector, the Premier is best placed to lead that. I support him 100 per cent.
