The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:34): A supplementary: I don't think the minister actually answered the question—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Ask your supplementary question.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Perfection Fresh is where the outbreak was detected by the company themselves. PIRSA went in, they have done tests, they have sent them away. Now the government has actually shut—

An honourable member: Ask your question—

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: Well, I am.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: They have now been shut down, but why aren't they allowed to see the results? Why hasn't PIRSA given Perfection Fresh the results that have resulted in the place being shut down and 500 people losing their jobs?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, before you answer the question, I didn't hear the start of the Hon. Mr Pangallo's supplementary question, so I couldn't tell whether he had started to ask the question and then there was some explanation to what he was asking, which is why I couldn't rule on it.

The Hon. R.P. Wortley interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wortley, enough!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:35): My understanding is that there has been frequent communication between PIRSA and the company.
