MURRAY RIVER, LOWER LAKES

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:02): I am just so glad that I survived that withering attack. My question is to the Minister for Water Security. How is the government proposing to manage acidification in Lake Albert now that pumping from Lake Alexandrina has ceased?

The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security) (15:03): As has been very publicly canvassed and as has been heard in our answers to questions yesterday in estimates; it is with bioremediation through the use of planting of different crop types, and also through the potential introduction of lime to the water, should the water be reaching critical pH levels.
