MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38):</by>  Further supplementary arising from the original answer: I think the minister gave Spanish olive oil as an example. Is the minister able to outline if there were any specific equipment shortages that were identified for South Australia and then also outline if there are any specific equipment shortages that were identified for the whole of Australia?</text>

RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:38):</by>  There were none identified as being particular, but this was a level of coordination not of what people needed but what was available in all the states. Every state is facing a different level of pressure, so we really weren't saying, 'Well, I've got 10 of these and you need 11.' There was none of that sort of detail. It is more: what is the capability? We have identified a team of senior officials that will meet on a weekly basis to update each other on what is available. More importantly, it was about making sure that two states don't go to a supplier and compete for the same thing.</text>
