HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (16:55):</by>  In response to the very perspicacious supplementary question from the honourable member, I can say that the Hon. Ms Lensink said, 'What a stupid question!', but in fact if it is a stupid question, is it just as stupid as a question the Hon. Ms Lensink asked me earlier about SA Water concessions? No, I have no such advice, the Hon. Mr Maher, that the Liberals have ever stood up for South Australians in relation to the River Murray and I suspect very strongly that if I went looking for it I wouldn't find any.</text>
