WATER CHARGES

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:36): What contribution at what cost does all the green energy and the carbon tax cost SA Water per annum?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:36): I think I have given a value in this place previously about the cost of the green energy commitment.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I think I have.

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: That's Gail's line that she's told us before.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Yes, well, I'm pretty sure that I've answered that question in this place previously—

The PRESIDENT: Minister, I'm in the chair, not the Hon. Mr Dawkins.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: —but, as always, Mr President—

The Hon. K.J. Maher: The minister might outline the alternative policies. It wouldn't take you very long, minister.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: No, they don't have any, but—

An honourable member: In the fullness of time.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: In the fullness of time. The only policy the Liberal Party has outlined so far is from Mount Lofty, saying, 'We have none.' That's a refreshing breath of honesty from the Liberal Party, of course, to admit that they have no policies, but we will wait and see in the 'fullness of time'.

The Hon. G.E. Gago interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Exactly.
