Wind Farms

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:15): Supplementary: can the minister also collect data on the number of birds that have been killed or found to be injured as a result of wind farms?

The PRESIDENT: You can answer it, Attorney.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for his question. As Minister for Industrial Relations and having the ministerial responsibility to do with workplace safety, I would be very surprised if the workplace safety regulator, SafeWork SA, keeps any sort of statistics on the safety of birds. I am happy to ask and see if they do.
