Algal Bloom

Mr BASHAM (Finniss) (15:01): My question is to the Premier. Have the competitors in the Australian Boardriders Battle been informed of the latest health advice to asthma sufferers regarding the algal bloom? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr BASHAM: The Australian Boardriders Battle is Australia's biggest grassroots boardriders event and involves more than 70 of Australia's best boardrider clubs, involving hundreds of competitors and their support teams who will converge on the Fleurieu Peninsula on 18 October as part of an eight-series national competition.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (15:01): All members of the South Australian public get access to public health advice, including organisers of events. We are very happy to—and we have already had instances where we have accommodated specific groups and event organisers not just having access to the public health advice but access to our public health officials to get more information. I will have to take on notice whether or not that has occurred in respect of this specific event, but if it hasn't and they would like it, we would be more than happy to accommodate that.

The SPEAKER: The member for MacKillop.
