Disaster Recovery Funds

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): We will see if this one gets answered. My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development regarding disaster recovery funds. Can the minister inform the chamber how much of the $79.8 million disaster recovery funds, announced in this week's federal budget, will go to the rehabilitation of the Lower Murray swamps and levee banks?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:24): Whilst we have had a general overview of the funds coming from the federal government, we don't as yet have specific detail as to the projects that they will go to within South Australia.
