DESALINATION PLANT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): My question is again to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with ESCOSA, which today has said that mothballing the desalination plant will save only $5 million per year, or about $6 per household per year during the regulatory period, not the $100 million suggested by Miles Kemp in media reports?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development) (14:31): Yes, I do.
