Coorong Fish Deaths

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:19): Supplementary, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: Final supplementary question, the Hon. Ms Lee.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: She has only had one.

The PRESIDENT: Yes, but they are cumulative. The Hon. Ms Lee, I want to move on to the Hon. Mr Hood.

The Hon. J.S. LEE: Can the minister confirm whether she was informed of the fish kill prior to any of the news reports that were publicly available? Was she informed? I just need to understand the process. Did she know about it?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:20): If a report had not been made to the Fishwatch hotline, then it's unlikely that PIRSA would have been aware and able to make me aware.
