Fruit Fly Outbreak

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): Supplementary: can the minister update the chamber on whether there have been any further fruit fly detections within the Adelaide Plains area since her last update?

The PRESIDENT: I definitely heard fruit fly mentioned in your response, minister.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:55): I thank the honourable member for her question. I was actually talking about it about 45 minutes ago. The additional detection was, I think, at Oakden, which has extended the time frame for the restrictions by, I think, one week. It is unfortunate, but not hugely significant, in terms of the extension of the time frame for restrictions in the Northern Adelaide Plains.
