CENTOFANTI:</by>  Modelling shows that the flows down the River Murray are expected to reach 165 gigalitres a day, with the possibility of up to 220 gigalitres a day. It has been reported to the opposition that the government has ordered sandbags from India, despite the fact that there are sandbags available from interstate. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="2022111639f3e99e057d4c9090000076">1.&amp;#x9;Does the minister have any concerns about potential biosecurity risks for the acquisition of international sandbags?</text>
        <text id="2022111639f3e99e057d4c9090000077">2.&amp;#x9;As the Minister for Primary Industries, is the minister confident that South Australia has enough, and will have enough, sandbagging resources to protect and minimise damage to pumps and other vital irrigation infrastructure that our primary producers rely on?</text>
        <text id="2022111639f3e99e057d4c9090000078">3.&amp;#x9;Is the minister aware that her government has sourced sandbags from India?</text>
        <text id="2022111639f3e99e057d4c9090000079">4.&amp;#x9;Can she give an indication to the chamber as to how long it will take for the delivery of these sandbags to the Riverland?</text>
        <text id="2022111639f3e99e057d4c9090000080">5.&amp;#x9;Is she confident that the current number of sandbags in the Riverland is sufficient until then to protect our primary producers?</text>
