          <by role="member" id="1819">The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:31):</by>  By way of supplementary question, I asked the minister about the Aboriginal community of Watarru that has a school, I believe school teachers, no students, and no residents. What does that have to do with the federal government, and are you still funding that community?</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:32):</by>  Again, I come to the point: the federal Liberal government, which is responsible for municipal service funding across this state, unilaterally has told this state that they are cutting the funding, and there is no comeback, with no provision for the states to continue that funding. How on earth will these homelands continue to turn on the lights, to pay for their water, and to pay for council collection of garbage? How will they provide these services? The Liberal Party, state and federal, has no answers for them.</text>
