ACCOLADE WINES

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for Industry and Trade. Following the loss of 175 jobs at Accolade Wines' Reynella bottle manufacturing plant in July last year, how many new job losses are anticipated as a result of public reports yesterday that Accolade may be planning further cuts to the company's 1,700 workforce, in what is described as a company restructure?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Small Business) (14:51): Accolade Wines has confirmed there will be job losses in Australia. So far it is yet to confirm how many jobs will be lost and so we have no number here for South Australia.
