SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:25):</by>  That would be a question for Dr Anderson. I know that he has had a very full schedule. Obviously, when an expert comes to South Australia, his main goal is to be able to meet and talk with those who have been part of the algal bloom investigation and response, to be able to share his expertise, but also to have discussions with multiple individuals who might also be able to provide input.</text>
        <text id="2025082196963a4944c34fa2a0000049">I think those opposite, again, want to focus on all sorts of minutiae, instead of actually addressing the difficult circumstances that so much of South Australia is experiencing. What we are focused on is getting the best input we can in terms of the science. What we are focused on is providing support for our fishing industries. What we are focused on is supporting our coastal communities. I suggest that if those opposite were keen to do any of those things, then we would all get along far better and achieve even more.</text>
