FORESTRYSA

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): With the two areas in question, what strategies are put in place when they are the only remaining assets to make them viable as stand-alone assets?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:33): I have just outlined those. What was the honourable member doing—snoozing, nodding off over there? I have talked about our industry strategy that applies to all of our assets. I have just outlined those. Just because those particular assets are not particularly suitable for sale at this point in time does not mean that this state is not committed to continuing to attempt to develop a sustainable forestry industry here in South Australia.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway has a further supplementary.
