My question is to the Minister for the Environment and Water, Senator Watt. The toxic algal bloom in South Australia has been wreaking havoc on our state—on our fishing industry, our tourism industry and our community. Our beaches may be closed over summer. Our beaches are littered with dead fish, dolphins, seals and rays. Isn't it true, Minister, that, if this devastation were happening on Bondi Beach, you would have spent a bit longer than 11 minutes checking it out?
