Kangaroo Island Visitor Centre

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (15:04): Supplementary: is the minister aware that there are a number of businesses on Kangaroo Island, and one that particularly comes to mind is this little business that makes cheese out of sheep's milk. Is the minister aware of the problems and the lack of tourism that may arise out of having this closed and how that—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Wortley, we understand the question. I am not sure the minister actually touched upon cheesemaking but I am going to allow the question because the minister was very broad about tourism in the state.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (15:05): Premium food and wine is an important part of the offering right across the whole state, not just Kangaroo Island. I know the honourable member has a large investment property on Kangaroo Island and probably enjoys the cheese and wine and spirits on a regular basis. He is a great advocate for Kangaroo Island and he is often immersing himself in what it has to offer. We have beautiful food and wine and we continue to promote that to all destinations.
