HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:45):</by>  My understanding is that the friends group is kept constantly advised of these processes and changes. That is the process I have asked the department to engage in, to engage with all the users of the parks, to bring the groups together and discuss how we can share those parks as best we can, and also to discuss with those users how we actually allocate the moneys that are provided by the department in upgrading those parks. There is not much point in having an engagement program if you do not actually engage. I will certainly—</text>
