HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change Environment Protection Authority Air Quality Policy The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:31): We are remaking our current policy. We are engaging in a process of public engagement, seeking feedback from the public about how we should manage that public policy change. The Hon. Mr Ridgway is asking and inviting me to actually ignore all that feedback, write policy without any public input and then explain it. He's got it completely backwards. First we consult, then we make the changes to the policy and then we explain it. The Hon. Mr Ridgway, if he had his druthers, in his world, he would be out there announcing and then defending. That is not what we in this government do. We consult with communities, make changes on the basis of that consultation and prepare better public policy because of it. The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Final supplementary, if I may. The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Final supplementary.
