Question put forward to The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) regarding Marine Park 14 and South Australian Fisheries.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:20): I have a supplementary question. The minister may need to take this on notice but can she provide the chamber with information about what actions PIRSA has taken to correct misinformation about the sustainability of South Australia's fisheries?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (15:20): I challenge the assertion. What problems? I challenge the basis of her assertion.

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink: Several consultation groups are saying that our fisheries aren't sustainable. Is it true?
