Natural Resources Management Levy

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:59): What contingency does the minister have for collection of the NRM after this year if the councils say, 'No collection.'

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:59): From my understanding of the way legislation is framed and passed in this place, in this particular situation it puts a requirement on councils to collect that levy and pass it on, and I believe that they will abide by the law.
