River Murray Ferry Services

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:18): Supplementary: is the additional $37.4 million simply a continuation of the contract rather than upgrades or improvements in accessibility of the ferries during any future flooding event?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:18): The additional funding is to continue the ferries and avoid what otherwise could have been potential downgrades and reduction in hours.
