          <by role="member" id="546">Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:07):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Water. What was the legal bill for South Australia in conducting the High Court challenge on the River Murray? When the minister was recently asked this question on radio in Adelaide he said he did not know the cost at that stage but would be finding out.</text>

CAICA (Colton—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water) (15:07):</by>  I thank the honourable member for his question. He is correct, I will be finding out. It has not been determined yet. Presumably, there are certain things with respect to legal cases that need to be worked out but I will tell you this: the result that we got made things worthwhile.</text>
