          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (15:15):</by>  Again, my question is to the Premier. Premier, how is it that you claim it was your announcement of a challenge through the High Court to Victoria's water trading caps that caused the Victorian government to remove its 10 per cent trading cap, when the South Australian announcement was made on 29 April this year, some three months after the Victorian government had begun its review into the 10 per cent cap—a review clearly designed to clear the pathway for the legislative changes required to remove the cap?</text>
