          <by role="member" id="3489">The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:17):</by>  Supplementary: given the minister's answer, why is the minister holding the meeting with the panel on Saturday 28 May between, I believe, 2:30pm and 3:30pm or 4 o'clock, which I understand the minister will allow the public to attend, when that is the most difficult time for country people to actually attend because they are at the end of their cricket and tennis finals and they are starting their football and netball trials?</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:17):</by>  Where do you start with a man like that? He comes in this place and asserts in his opening statements that I selected the 26 panel members—completely wrong, completely false, totally made up. These people were selected randomly and independently by a separate organisation, but he doesn't know that, because he doesn't care.</text>
        <text id="2015031903f468a5ef134b0fa0000211">He hasn't done any of the research or background work; he hasn't got a clue. In relation to the timing of the meetings, again, he is asserting in here that I chose the timing—wrong, completely wrong. It was independently set by the organisation and the panel themselves, but the truth means nothing to the Hon. Mr Brokenshire. He makes up his own facts, peddles them around through the media and asserts that they are right when in fact he is usually completely wrong.</text>
