Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Desalination Plant DESALINATION PLANT The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON Legislative Council DESALINATION PLANT The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14:28): Well, yes, from the answer. Given his comments about drinking stormwater, will the minister provide to the house a data analysis of the water from the Salisbury wetlands and also a data analysis of the tap water this state government and SA Water provide for drinking and make note of the differences between the contents in that water? The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management DESALINATION PLANT The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:29): If the honourable member wants information about the data analysis from Salisbury, she should talk to Colin Pitman and the people at Salisbury council. The Hon. A. Bressington interjecting: The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: But it's their water; they are the water authority, and they are responsible for that. They do not provide it, and they have never claimed to provide it, as drinking water. If the honourable member wants an analysis, she should talk to them; they are not a state government department. The Hon. A. Bressington interjecting: The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: Well, there will be trials and I guess information will come as a result of those trials, and I am sure that information will be made available. However, if the honourable member wants information now about water from a non-state government department, it is up to her to contact the people concerned. I am sure that Colin Pitman would be pleased to provide her with any information she might request.
