J.M.A. LENSINK (14:18): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Minister for Water and the River Murray on the subject of the Save the River Murray levy. Leave granted. The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: In estimates last year, the minister was asked a question by the member for Flinders in relation to the Save the River Murray levy and whether all the programs that were funded from the levy would be funded at the same rate. The minister replied as follows: My understanding is that all the programs will continue. They will just now be funded through consolidated revenue into the future. He then corrected that to say 'the right term is appropriation'. My question to the minister is: does he stand by that particular statement? The Hon. I.K.
