          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:54):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Water. Why did SA Water award consultants NTF a $162,000 consultancy to undertake a survey on SA Water's customers' willingness to pay higher water prices for water infrastructure investment, including the new desalination plant, and why was this consultancy suddenly suspended after the government paid the consultant around $78,000?</text>
