ForestrySA

Mr TRELOAR (Flinders) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Forests. Given that OneFortyOne Plantations can notify the government that it wishes to provide its own services, rather than use ForestrySA to manage the plantations, has this notice been issued?

The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing) (14:48): I thank the member for the question. There is an agreement in place with OneFortyOne, which is a five-year agreement. We have about 3½ years to go with that agreement. I am having a meeting with OneFortyOne, I think it's this week, to have discussions with them about the future. But we would expect them to stay committed to that agreement, which, as I have said, goes for five years.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Leader!
