Drought Assistance

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (15:12): Supplementary: can the minister please give assurances to the chamber that PIRSA is efficient in their request for further information from farmers?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:12): As I understand it, when the applications come in, there are obviously a number of different aspects of the process. The first is to look over the application and obviously, as soon as it can be identified that there might be additional information needed, according to my advice that is requested.
