Riverland Wine Grapegrowers

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Supplementary: has the minister contacted Minister Watt requesting that her federal colleague travel to the Riverland to meet with Riverland growers, given the serious financial predicament that this region is in?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:31): I have communicated on a number of occasions to Minister Watt the serious situation. I think he is very aware of that. What I think is also a question is: did the former Coalition bother to think about the implications on wine grapegrowers when they trashed the relationship with China as they did?
