The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (15:14): Supplementary: is it conceivable or is it possible that, when a person takes a photograph and it is contested, they will have to give evidence in support of the expiation notice?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:14): I think I covered this on the wireless a little while ago. Just as a citizen making any report to an authority charged with the prosecution of an offence, there is always the chance that that evidence may be required to be used in court if it is contested. In exactly the same way, if you were making a report to the EPA about something else that is a violation of statute, then you would also—even if you wrote a letter or rang up to make that report—be expected, should it go to a challenge through the courts, to provide the evidence to support that report and the prosecution. So, in that case, it is absolutely no different.
