Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Hanson Bay Hanson Bay The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council Hanson Bay The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (14:54): The reason I asked the question, minister, was: why did you pay $500,000 more than the valuation that you had received unless, of course, you had subsequent valuation advice closer to the date of purchase? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Hanson Bay 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): Mr President, I just explained to the honourable member why this was such a strategic purchase and why we were prepared to pay that price. It will never come up again in my lifetime, probably, such a key purchase to join two national parks in a key part of our state, a key part of our tourism offerings, and I just cannot believe the honourable member does not see the obvious value in purchasing that piece of land.
