Murray-Darling Basin

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:58): Supplementary based on the minister's answer.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary, Hon. Mr Brokenshire.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Supplementary regarding his comments on low-flow bypasses: will the minister rule out making low-flow bypasses compulsory?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:58): I have nothing further to add to my answer than I already have given. The Hon. Mr Brokenshire might want to inquire of us about the projects we have initiated on low-flow bypasses. I believe I spoke on that issue in this place last year regarding a very interesting project of design which we went to the Interweb for. We had entries from around the world, I understand, and they were fascinating. I think we launched those successful project designs in Mount Barker, I believe, late last year. If he cares to consult Hansard he will find his own answers to that.
