HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:13):</by>  No, I don't, but, as I said, we expect the construction contract, which hasn't been awarded for on-ground works, will be awarded very shortly. We are expecting those works to commence in November (this month), so it can't be very far away. What I will do is go back and task my agency to find out, in particular in those two projects the honourable member raised, where we are up to with the award of contracts and where the first turning might well be, but I might tell the honourable member a week after I do it.</text>
