          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS: </by> No, sir. My question is to the Minister for Water Security. Will the minister make available the results of opinion polling conducted by SA Water through its feedback form delivered to residents in the area around the proposed desalination plant at Port Stanvac and also posted online? Residents have been asked to supply their name, address, email contact details, phone number, age and other details, along with their response to questions that really have little to do with actual construction of the plant. The form asks whether the respondent is in favour of, neutral towards or against a desalination plant. It also asks whether their interest is driven by environmental issues, technical matters or water security.</text>

          <by role="member" id="1783">The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security) (14:25): </by> I commend SA Water for its efforts to inform and consult with communities in order to get an understanding of how they are feeling about infrastructure that will secure the water future for South Australia. The market information has been undertaken by SA Water. I will ask the SA Water board whether it is prepared to release the information.</text>
