HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:24):</by>  Why would we reduce the levy when it is doing such a good job? We need to keep the price incentive in place. Why would we reduce the levy when our counterparts in Victoria and New South Wales have a levy higher than ours? That will only give people an incentive to come over the border and dump their waste at a lower cost. Why would you do that? That is nonsense.</text>
