BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Well, the question is that the minister said it had run on— The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: That's not a question. The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: The question is: is it being run on renewable energy— The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Well, if the question is 'the minister said', I agree: he said something. Now, what's your question? The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE Legislative Council The Hon. R.L.

HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:24): I can only repeat what I have said in my discussion and in answer to the Hon. Mr Ridgway's original question. This is the problem with the Hon. Mr Brokenshire: he never, ever listens to the answers that are given in this place— The Hon. R.L. Brokenshire Legislative Council The Hon. R.L. Brokenshire: You said it was run by renewable energy. That is not true. You have misrepresented— The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: And now the honourable member says he already knows the answer so, obviously, there is nothing that I can say that is going to convince the honourable member. I can repeat the answer I have given which refutes exactly what he is proposing, and I suggest he looks that up again.
