Murray Cod Restocking Program

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:02): Supplementary: minister, have the cod fingerlings been ordered or procured, and when will the first cod be released?

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) (15:02): Again, I thank the member for Chaffey for the question. They are details that I will have to follow up, but I know that when we announced the scheme there was a long lead time because of technical things that have to be done as you breed up the cod before you can release them into the river.
