The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Supplementary: what contingencies are in place or organised for the fishing and aquaculture industries that the minister represents, should this not dissipate before summer?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:31): Our government has talked about the development of the summer plan, which we hope to be able to announce in October. We continue to refine the industry assistance packages that we have announced. We continue to engage with industry, both at an industry association level as well as talking with individual businesses in terms of how the assistance package can continue to provide support and continue to be refined where necessary.
