Personal Explanation

Accolade Wines

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:18): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: I just wanted to clarify an answer that I gave in question time in regard to Accolade Wines. I am advised that, from media reports in January, Accolade Wines announced that Australian Wine Holdco Limited (AWL), a consortium comprised of international investors, plans to take full equity ownership of the company. However—and this is the clarification—my understanding is that this arrangement is still subject to regulatory approvals.
