Riverland Grapegrowers

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:03): Supplementary: what financial assistance can the South Australian government provide to these growers in the Riverland rather than federal funding, and what has been implemented from the blueprint recommendations?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, if you could give a short answer so we can move on, I would appreciate it.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:04): Certainly. First of all, I will invite the honourable member to refer back to previous answers I have made about specific financial support that had been offered, including small grants for everyday expenses.

In terms of an update on the blueprint, at my meeting recently—as I mentioned, that was with a new and I think interim executive officer—there was only a very high-level report back, given their newness in the role, in regard to the blueprint.
