Site Contamination, Hendon Area

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:17): Will the minister agree to come back to the house and give this place a specific date on when he was first advised?

The Hon. G.E. Gago: He just did.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: No, he didn't. You're so dumb you don't even know he hasn't answered the question.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:17): I will ask my office to check when formal briefings were given to me but, as I said, the EPA gives me briefings every fortnight, and all of the way through the processes of me being a minister for the EPA, the EPA has kept me apprised of all of their activities across Adelaide, Hendon being a part of that process. So we have formal briefings which come through the department in written form. We also have informal meetings–verbal meetings, I should say, or briefings—which I get every fortnight and the EPA has been keeping me constantly updated.
