HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:27):</by>  The honourable member is assuming that there were any advertisements. I don't know that. I do know that there are existing people in those positions. We are talking about a reorganisation. We are talking about a reorganisation internally.</text>
        <text id="201703025d76a5d6b61840e8a0000227">The honourable member seems to be implying or inferring from something he's seen that some other situation applied in this instance. I think that is a leap too far. He is trying desperately to emulate the tactics in this place of the gentleman behind him, the Hon. Mr Lucas, by trying to twist words for his own purpose. I say to the Leader of the Opposition, 'Just chill out, mate. Relax, I will get back to you in good time.'</text>
