HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:36):</by>  Absolutely. Again, it is an indication of how the Labor leadership of the government in this state stands up for South Australia at every opportunity. That is what we are here for. We are not elected here to sit on our backsides and have a good holiday in the upper house for eight years. That is not what we are elected to do. We are elected to fight for our state and our constituents, and the Labor Party in government will always do that. The Liberals go missing. God help us had they been elected at the last election. Where would they be in standing up for South Australia over Holden's, for instance, or the submarine project? Where are they on submarines? Nowhere to be seen.</text>
