CENTOFANTI:</by>  The South Australian government fact sheet from migration.sa.gov.au defines South Australia's regions in relation to postcode. On this fact sheet it defines Mount Barker as Greater Adelaide and specifically stipulates that it is not regional South Australia—that is a South Australian government fact sheet. My questions to the minister are:</text>
        <text id="20230628e3bf02e0184f45fa80000412">1.&amp;#x9;Does the minister agree with the South Australian government's website migration.sa.gov.au that specifies that Mount Barker is indeed not a regional area?</text>
        <text id="20230628e3bf02e0184f45fa80000413">2.&amp;#x9;If so, will the minister concede that 25 per cent of the new investment in regional South Australia is in fact not regional?</text>

SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:36):</by>  As I outlined in the answer to the previous question, migration is, as I understand it, based on definitions of regions according to federal jurisdiction. That would, I would imagine, explain the definition that the honourable member is referring to.</text>
