HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:32):</by>  Yes, the Liberal members opposite do cherrypick as the Hon. Michelle Lensink reminds us. They have been doing it since she has been away. Now that she is back I hope she will assert some discipline on her team. SA Water has a statewide business of 27,000, almost 28,000 kilometres of pipes, more than any other water utility in the country. I think the next biggest may be Sydney Water, from memory (I could be wrong but I will correct it) around 22,000 kilometres of pipes; it might be 25,000. We have 27,000 kilometres of pipes, more than any other water utility. It is a connected business, those pipes are connected, you cannot break it down one versus the other. When you want to cherrypick your figures you need to have a look at the whole business.</text>
