Was the minister aware from the outset that a significant part of the $610 million promised by the commonwealth government for water infrastructure in the Lower Lakes will be used to build the government's weir near Wellington? The opposition has been advised that over $200 million of the $610 million will be spent on the government's weir near Wellington. The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD House of Assembly Chaffey Minister for the River Murray Minister for Water Security MURRAY RIVER, LOWER LAKES The Hon. K.A.
