Container Deposit Scheme

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:24): Supplementary: does the minister acknowledge that South Australia constitutes 50 per cent of the wine grapes grown around Australia, compared to the much smaller percentage out of Queensland, and that consequently what the South Australian government does affects the large majority of wine grapegrowers?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:25): I can simply say: yes, obviously I am aware that South Australia produces 50 per cent of grapes grown in the country and, indeed, 80 per cent of the premium grapes grown in the country. I assume the honourable member simply wasn't listening to my answer to her first, original question.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Indeed. So having consistency, I think, is something that the wine industry itself has long lobbied for. Given that one state went ahead, that wasn't possible.

The Hon. N.J. Centofanti interjecting:

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: The member opposite says she is not sure that the wine industry lobbied for national consistency. I can assure her, from my frequent meetings with the wine industry, that that was their preference.
