Environment, Water and Natural Resources Department

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:53): Supplementary question. Is the CE of the minister's department correct when he said that South Australians do not put the environment first?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:54): I do not know what the Hon. Michelle Lensink is referring to in that quote—

The Hon. J.M.A. Lensink interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: That is exactly right, Mr President, but all I can speak to is the priorities of the government.

They are our highest priorities.
