Wine Industry

The Hon. D.G.E. HOOD (15:29): Supplementary: is the minister able to provide any sales projections with respect to what might occur in the upcoming 12, 18 or 24 months as a result of her delegation and the changing arrangement with China with respect to wine sales?

The PRESIDENT: It is not a supplementary arising out of the reply; you can provide an answer, if you wish.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:30): I think it is worth noting that the decision to lift the tariffs had not been taken at the time I was there. There was the interim decision during the time I was there, but the final decision came after that. I am happy to see what information might be available and, if it is available, bring it back to the chamber.
