CENTOFANTI:</by>  As we all know, on 16 October this year, this council passed a motion requesting the tabling of documents held by government agencies relating to the harmful algal bloom. The government subsequently advised that a range of departments, including the Department for Environment and Water, SA Health and the Department of the Premier and Cabinet may hold relevant documents and that work was underway to locate, review and access them. My questions to the Deputy Premier are: has the Deputy Premier or his office already received any of those documents from the departments identified, and, if so, will the Deputy Premier table those documents today?</text>
