          <by role="member" id="1820">The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:24):</by>  Will the minister commit to speaking to his department and bring back an answer in the next couple of days, if he is not aware, if in fact this has occurred and we have seen significant tuna losses? Obviously, that is a concern to the owners of that facility, but if it has killed tuna, imagine the thousands, if not millions, of other fish that have died as a result of this water quality issue.</text>

HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:24):</by>  I will certainly make inquiries, but without having any information before me, and indeed the honourable member would probably have no information before him either, about what the water quality issue was, caused by a storm event, very much the likelihood is it was a natural event and would occur from time to time and have this impact on the environment down there and also the species that inhabit it. Again, I do not have the information before me. As I indicated in my first answer, I will make some inquiries of my agency.</text>
