Water Industry (Compensation for Loss or Damage) Amendment Bill

Introduction and First Reading

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (16:34): Obtained leave and introduced a bill for an act to amend the Water Industry Act 2012. Read a first time.

Second Reading

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (16:35): I move:

That this bill be now read a second time.

This is an important bill, given that we have seen so much occurring, unfortunately for South Australians, regarding burst water mains and the issues around lack of compensation for loss or damage. I seek leave to conclude my remarks on this at another date.

Leave granted; debate adjourned.
