Pastoral Board

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (16:01): By way of supplementary question, and given the answer, will the minister actually explain to the house what problem he has with the existing structure and Pastoral Board? Can he articulate what the problem is?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (16:01): It is not a problem that I have articulated previously. As I said to the chamber this time and also last year, these issues have been brought to me and my attention by pastoralists. They have been having discussions and have made their opinions known that the current system is not adequate to address all their needs in terms of timeliness, in terms of determinations for stocking, for example, and the appeal process. These things have been brought up with me from time to time and indeed have been brought up with me by the member for Stuart.

In an attempt to address these issues we have determined to try to make a better outcome available for pastoralists and the industry. That is what we are intending to do. Unless we have a better outcome, I am sure the industry won't support the solution.
