Lower Darling Water Release

Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:04): My question is again to the Deputy Premier. Minister, what irrigation and environmental impacts is the water expected to have, including fish kills?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water, Minister for Workforce and Population Strategy) (15:05): I haven't been advised of any negative impacts that are being expected. What I am advised about is the way in which the various departments involved will be monitoring closely and taking remedial action, where possible, should anything arise but not that it is expected to occur.
