Algal Bloom

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:02): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries. Will the minister commit to a royal commission into the handling of the toxic algal bloom, from early detection to public communication and scientific verification?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:02): Those opposite might wish to line the pockets of highly paid lawyers. Here on this side, we want to support our industries, our environment and our coastal communities, and that is exactly what we are doing.
