Virginia Irrigation Association

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:31): Supplementary: given my recent question regarding the Virginia Irrigation Association and its ongoing negotiations with SA Water regarding water pricing for the existing Virginia scheme, is the minister now aware if it is possible for him to meet with the 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) (14:31): I thank the honourable member for following up on the matter that he raised with me a few weeks ago. I am yet to receive advice about the appropriateness of meeting at this contract negotiation stage. When I do, as I said, I will make that determination on whether it is appropriate to meet or not.
