Comments attributable to Sarah Hanson-Young, Greens Senator for SA and spokesperson for environment and water: “This inquiry is an important step in ensuring that South Australians aren’t left to manage the algal disaster on our own as we await the much needed declaration of a national disaster. “We are facing an environmental, economic and community disaster, and South Australians are crying out for answers.
“In this first week of parliament, my top priority has been to raise the concerns of those affected in South Australia’s tourism and fishing industries, and our coastal communities who have been left shocked for months on end. “As Chair of the inquiry, I will focus on making sure that we use this inquiry to amplify the voices of scientists, affected industries and the local South Australian community.
“We need governments at all levels that will act to take climate change mitigation and adaptation seriously. This is not a far off future problem, the crisis is here and now."
