HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:20):</by>  Again, Mr President, the Hon. David Ridgway refuses to understand the open and transparent process that is an EOI. You go out to market and you say to businesses, 'Come to us with your proposals and we will test them; we will test them one against the other.' What is the Hon. Mr Ridgway suggesting we do instead? Go out and pick winners? Go and pluck people out of the streets? We went through a public process.</text>

She doesn't understand probity in the first instance. You go through a public expressions of interest process and you assess what comes into you. That is the proper course of action. But why would you expect the Liberal Party here, in this state, to understand probity?</text>
