Water Pricing

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:57): A further supplementary. Is the minister then confirming that he is happy to have one set of rules for some in this state that will be charged a water levy and another set of rules for others in this state who will not be charged a water levy?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:57): Clearly, the honourable member does not listen to the answers that are given in this place, because I said that there are already two boards who do not charge levies. We already have that situation, where some boards have a different way of mixing those levies together. That already exists. The honourable member knows full well that local boards have flexibility in how they allocate these fees and charges; they do it in consultation with their local communities. He should not come in here making up questions when he knows the answers already.
