Minister, Steve Bowley was an oyster grower from the Stansbury region who told me he'd been unable to sell a single oyster for 79 days because of the infection—it's now up to 84 days. Bart Butson told me about a fellow Port Wakefield fisherman, a guy who in 2008 swam six hours after his boat sunk, whose catch quota is 7.5 tonnes of calamari but who is unable to catch nine. How much of this money is going to fishing industry and commercial fishers in South Australia?
