Drought Assistance

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): Supplementary: given states are in charge of determining assistance for farmers in drought, what new funding and new programs has the South Australian government committed to farmers across South Australia?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:43): As I mentioned in the answer to an earlier question today, a wide range of assistance is available. The establishment of the drought industry advisory group and also the round tables we are having around the state are continuing to inform our decisions and discussions about our approaches and actions going further forward.

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!
