THE WOOLSHED

In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (1 April 2008).

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): The Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse has advised:

1. Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia was not instructed to dispose of cattle at The Woolshed site.

I am advised by DASSA that cattle are sold when it is the appropriate time for them to go to the market, taking into consideration their age and market prices.

It is my understanding that calves will be purchased to replace the sold cattle to maintain the pastures at The Woolshed.

2. I am advised by DASSA that there is no extra fire risk at The Woolshed site.
