Lake Albert-Coorong Connector

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:26): Supplementary question: was the Ernst & Young report incorrect when it recommended that further research be required into the environmental benefits of the Coorong connector?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:26): I am not going to be drawn on claims by the opposition. What I said is that the report findings were substantial enough to recommend that lake cycling be the preferred option and therefore I can see no reason why we should be spending money on any other research that does not lead to the best outcomes in terms of lake cycling.
