Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification System Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification System The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification System The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: based on the size of the saleyard, does the minister believe that five scanners is sufficient for a throughput of 50,000 head, and is she concerned about worker safety through excessive movement of sheep with limited races? The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries Sheep and Goat Electronic Identification System The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:35): Again, the Leader of the Opposition in this place is under a slight misapprehension. The original guidelines that were issued nationally— The Hon. N.J. Centofanti Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition The Hon. N.J. Centofanti: No, it's not, because I'm getting told this by the saleyards. The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: If the Leader of the Opposition doesn't want to listen to the answer then that would explain why she is confused. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. I.K. Hunter Legislative Council The Hon. I.K. Hunter: She's talking. She's talking now. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! And so are you, the Hon. Mr Hunter. Members interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: And so is the Attorney-General. Minister, please continue. The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: So the guidelines that were issued in general for those who did not want to seek the needs analysis assessment were based on the size of the saleyards in terms of categories or a size range of what would be considered appropriate. The independent assessor didn't directly refer to that aspect when looking at the individual needs analysis, so he was able to look at each—there were two assessors, in fact, and they were able to look at each of the saleyards who had put in their needs analysis and make recommendations from there.
