I thank the member for her question. As she'd be aware, with the algal bloom, we worked very closely with the Malinauskas government to provide support for industry and to provide the sort of research that, frankly, will help not just people in South Australia but is, indeed, world-leading research to deal with the challenge that came from the algal bloom. I visited Kangaroo Island in the member's electorate to see firsthand the issues, and I met with local fishers and local producers in the primary sector. That's what our government does. When a challenge happens, we work across the board with industry, with different levels of government, and the member and I had conversations at that time. We'll continue to work on this challenge as well, and I'd ask the minister to update the House.
