Horticultural Food Safety Regulations

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (14:34): Supplementary: is the minister concerned that the discussion paper and debate about the discussion paper could potentially lead to an increase in food prices, particularly given grocery prices are already spiking here in South Australia?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:35): The AUSVEG representative was in the media today and was asked particularly did he think if such a fee were to proceed whether it would impact prices. He said no. I am happy to defer to the industry opinion in regard to that particular matter.
