Algal Bloom

Ms PRATT (Frome) (14:37): My question is to the Minister for Health and Wellbeing. Can the minister reveal when SA Health first became aware of the presence of brevetoxins in relation to the current harmful algal bloom?

The Hon. C.J. PICTON (Kaurna—Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:37): As has been stated on the public record a number of times, I think on the weekend before the task force there were the preliminary results that were coming through, and that was then something that was analysed by SA Health over the course of the next few days and the updated advice was then provided to the task force meeting on the Thursday.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my right will come to order.
