HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:33):</by>  Mr President, for once I do agree with the Hon. Mr Brokenshire, in his interjection: it is in their DNA to privatise. We all understand what the Liberals are about: it is about supporting the big end of town while those most vulnerable in our community are left to suffer. That is what the Liberals are about in this state and around the country. It is in their DNA, and every South Australian knows it. Every South Australian knows that it's in their DNA.</text>
