Rex Airlines

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): Supplementary question arising directly from the answer: does the minister think that the reduction in flights to Kangaroo Island as a result of Rex pulling out of the service will have any impact on trade and investment for Kangaroo Island?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade and Investment) (14:23): As we know, we have had some horrific bushfires on Kangaroo Island and I think there's a lot of factors that will impact on the rebuild of Kangaroo Island. It is disappointing that Rex have chosen to cease flights, although they are not pulling out straightaway from what I've heard in the media. So I expect that the rebuild of the economy across all sectors will be particularly challenging for all of us, for the government. Certainly, that's why we will be doing all we can as a government to support Kangaroo Island in its rebuild of its economy.
