Wastewater Allocations

The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (15:18): Can the minister tell us how many hectares of land are likely to be serviced by this proposed irrigation system?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:19): No, of course not, because as I said we have to go out and do the feasibility tests.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Up to.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

Members interjecting:

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: No, it is over 5,000 jobs and up to 1,000 hectares but, again, it comes down to what the feasibility case will show us.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: You have the honourable members across there laughing, the Hon. Michelle Lensink and the Hon. David Ridgway laughing about the prospect of growing the economy in the north, growing jobs for South Australians. They have absolutely no commitment to the north of Adelaide at all. We saw that when they wanted to close down Holden's and they had Liberals out there urging them on. That's what you get from the Liberal Party in this state, that's what you get in terms of support for workers in the north of Adelaide: zero from the Liberals. It always comes down to a Labor government.
