MURRAY-DARLING BASIN PLAN

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:51): My supplementary question to the minister: is the additional 450 gigalitres that he referred to guaranteed or is its inclusion in the plan better described as an aspirational target?

The Hon. R.L. Brokenshire: Aspiration, pie in the sky.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:51): I don't think the honourable member could have heard—

The PRESIDENT: I thought I heard an answer from the Hon. Mr Brokenshire.

The Hon. R.L. Brokenshire: Just helping the minister, Mr President.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: And he always is a great help, sir—sometimes, though, not to great effect.

The PRESIDENT: Minister, you have the call.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: But, no, I can advise that the 450 gigalitres has been locked in as a result of our Premier campaigning for a better outcome for our state.
