Drought Assistance

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): Supplementary: how often has the PIRSA advisory group met on this topic in the past two months and what contingencies has the government put in place around that financial year budget?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:38): The advisory group was established—I think its first meeting was about three weeks ago but I am happy to check that. As I mentioned, that is being chaired by the chief executive of PIRSA. We continue to analyse a situation which, of course, can be potentially changing quite regularly, and any budget adjustments that might need to be made will go through the usual processes.
