          <by role="member" id="3130">The Hon. M.C. PARNELL (14:44):</by>  I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his comprehensive statement, which bore no resemblance to the questions I asked, which were:</text>
        <text id="201512029e7da3ba05964d4680001023">1.&amp;#x9;Does the minister accept the advice of the expert panel that nuclear power is uneconomic for South Australia?</text>
        <text id="201512029e7da3ba05964d4680001024">2.&amp;#x9;Has the minister forwarded the report to the royal commission for its consideration?</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:44):</by>  I thank the member for his supplementary, which at least made a little bit of sense. I don't know what the fascination is with the package of the Hon. John Hewson, or even Anna Skarbek or Frank Jotzo. The honourable member may have overlooked part of my explanation, where I said that other recommendations are currently under active consideration, and that still continues to be the case. It is not my position to refer a report of the independent panel to the royal commission. That is a matter for the panel if they wish to do so, or indeed for the royal commission to request it.</text>
