The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): Supplementary: has the minister been advised how many SA farming businesses have applied for the range of business programs or services on which the minister has provided information earlier?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:56): I don't believe I receive statistics on that; however, anecdotally I certainly get positive feedback the many times I am in regional areas speaking with people who have either referred others to those services or have availed themselves of the services individually.
