DESALINATION PLANTS

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): My question is to the Premier. Has the government now received and considered the final report of the desalination working group, and when will we see a decision taken on what the government plans to do about desalination? This is the last sitting week of the month. The Premier has previously promised action by the end of October.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:23): I think you have the month wrong. November.
