DESALINATION PLANT

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Further supplementary: if the minister has been fully briefed, why does he not know the annual cost of providing the power supply to the desalination plant by AGL?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:26): The honourable member is putting words in my mouth. That is not what I said.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: You just said it.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: No, that's not what I said. I said that I will come back to him with a response.
