Transcript – ABC North and West – Breakfast with Tom Mann
TOM MANN:
ow, we have been hearing in the news this morning that the Federal Environment Minister, Murray Watt, is set to travel to Adelaide today to take a closer look at the algal bloom and consider the role the federal government could play in supporting those impacted.
But the federal opposition are arguing that the government is well behind on the situation and that the government should have acted much earlier when calls were first made for a monitoring system for South Australian waters. I spoke earlier this morning with the opposition spokesperson for the environment, Angie Bell.
ANGIE BELL:
Absolutely have been following that. But I have to say the Labor government has taken 18 months to even send a departmental official down to South Australia, and I think the message there is that South Australians need to look at what Labor does, not what they say.
