Wine Industry

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Further supplementary: does the minister agree that the delay in the report is contributing to further anxiety within the industry?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:27): I think there have been a number of outcomes of not only the working group but also the work that we have been doing as a government here in South Australia. I think there is a general acknowledgement that when there is a change of minister that will have some consequences because obviously the new minister will want to be up to speed on the matters that are of relevance to her portfolio, and of course wine is a significant industry both in our state and in our nation, and I am sure she is doing that in the lead-up to the next meetings or out-of-session papers that we might receive.
