Question Time

Fisheries Sector

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development on the topic of fisheries and cost recovery.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: In answer to a question put to the minister yesterday on the topic of revised and reset policy and whether she had consulted with industry on the implementation of this policy, the minister stated, 'We have had ongoing discussions and I understand some correspondence.' My question to the minister in regard to her comment is: given it has been three months since the government released the report into the independent cost-recovery review and its response to that review, has the minister had any formal correspondence with the peak seafood industry body—that is, Seafood Industry South Australia Incorporated—on the implementation of the government's revised and reset policy?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:20): As I mentioned yesterday, and as the honourable member has quoted, I have had some correspondence and I am happy to check what correspondence and from whom.
