GLENCOE NURSERY

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:25): I have a supplementary question. In the letter to the council the government said, and I quote—

The PRESIDENT: What is the question?

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: I ask the minister why is it now that ForestrySA will not into the future be continuing to operate the nursery as promised by the government?

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) (14:25): Honourable members in this place need to listen. I have already answered that question. I have outlined what the arrangement for Glencoe was and the reason for it—and it is a sound, rational reason. I have indicated that it is being leased to OneFortyOne and operated by ForestrySA. I have outlined the reasons for that—that is, in terms of the continuity of seedlings—and for the seamless management of fire across that region.

I would have thought that that is a very sensible thing to be doing. I would expect the honourable member to be getting to his feet and congratulating the government for ensuring that these responsible provisions are included, but no: we have members sitting here and not listening to information that is given in answers and getting up and asking redundant questions.
