Beston Global Food Company

The Hon. J.S. LEE (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:35): Supplementary question: when was the minister made aware of the job losses within the Beston Global Food Company prior to the announcement this morning, and was there any strategy from the state government to safeguard SA jobs?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:36): I became aware of the announcement today, as others did obviously, and not before the staff and the farmers who are suppliers to Beston.
