EDWARDSTOWN GROUNDWATER CONTAMINATION

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): My question is also to the Minister for Environment and Conservation. When did the EPA first learn of positive results on contamination tests done at the former Hills site and outside of the former Hills site at Edwardstown?

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water) (14:46): I am not quite sure the context of what 'positive results' means—

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. P. CAICA: Why didn't you ask the question correctly?

Members interjecting:

The Hon. P. CAICA: Yes, that's right.

An honourable member: Inside or outside—that is everywhere.

The Hon. P. CAICA: That's right—inside or outside is anywhere. The EPA became aware of the contamination outside of the Hills site—

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. P. CAICA: There may well be. They received that report, I am told, on 14 February.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Deputy Leader of the Opposition.

Ms Chapman interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, member for Bragg!
