Wine Industry

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development a question about winery support programs.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: On 15 November 2022, in answer to the examination of the Auditor-General's Report, the Minister for Trade and Investment stated:

As part of the 2022-23 budget savings targets, we decided to wind up early the following time-limited programs: the Export Fundamentals Program, the virtual business matchings program and the National Trade Program, and we have also wound up the South Australia Export Accelerator Program.

My question to the minister is: in light of the response provided by the Minister for Trade and Investment, does the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development still stand by her response tabled in this place on 2 November and is it accurate?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:22): I thank the honourable member for her question. As I answered in response to the previous question, I answer the questions in this place to the best of my ability and based on the advice that I have been provided.

I will certainly go back and have a look at the Hansard to which the honourable member refers, to check whether there is anything that is inadvertently inaccurate in that, or indeed it may turn out that the response from the Minister for Trade and Investment, as mentioned, that was quoted just a moment ago, referred to time-limited programs, which implies to me that perhaps those were time-limited from the previous government. Certainly, I will make some inquiries and see if anything is—

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: I will certainly go back and have a look at the Hansard and see whether there is anything that needs to be corrected.
