Funding to assist SA to deal with algal bloom, but no national disaster declaration

On today's show: The federal government has pledged $14 million to assist South Australia as it continues to deal with a toxic algal bloom outbreak, but has stopped short of declaring it a national disaster. Calls are ramping up to recognise the devastating algal bloom as a national emergency. The bloom is now said to cover an area twice that of the ACT, decimating fisheries and deterring tourists from visiting. Ian Mitchell is a fisherman and the manager of the main fish market in Adelaide. He says South Australians are baulking at buying fish as they are unwilling to eat fish that they think is tainted by the algal bloom.
