Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Virginia Irrigation Association Virginia Irrigation Association The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS Legislative Council Virginia Irrigation Association The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:06): I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for that response. Given the detail that he has brought to us and the knowledge of the complex issue, will the minister be prepared to consider organising a meeting with the executive of the Virginia Irrigation Association? The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change Virginia Irrigation Association The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:07): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. I am always open to meeting with interested stakeholders. I am hesitant to say yes absolutely because of the contract negotiation process. I am not absolutely sure that it would be appropriate for me to meet at this point in time but I will take advice on that and if my advice is, yes, that's all hunky-dory, then certainly I would be happy to meet with them, and the Hon. Mr Dawkins might like to attend the meeting with me. If that is not the case and it is inappropriate during contract negotiations, then I will have to decline and perhaps meet at a later stage.
