An honourable member interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. P.F. Conlon interjecting: Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly Mr WILLIAMS: Not at all; actually, it is for your entertainment, Patrick. Now that the commonwealth has refused the state government's request for further funds to remove the bunds at the Lower Lakes, will the minister get on with the removal of the bund at Narrung, given that his department received $2.3 million from the commonwealth for this removal almost two years ago? The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly Colton Minister for Environment and Conservation Minister for the River Murray Minister for Water The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water) (15:28): I think that when I was on my holidays the Deputy Leader of the Opposition went down for a little bit of a photo opportunity where, I understand, he was in his muscle T-shirt shovelling the bund. My point would be— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. P.F. Conlon interjecting: The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: That's right. It was my holiday, Patrick, not his. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The minister will answer the question. The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: I will, ma'am. He was on holiday when his town was blowing over. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: This is a pretty silly question— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. P. CAICA House of Assembly The Hon. P. CAICA: I would like information to be provided to me by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition as to why he has concluded that the federal government has refused to provide funding for this matter.
