CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (16:58):</by>  I would like to thank those honourable members who have spoken on this important report and the important work of the Select Committee on Water Supply Needs of Eyre Peninsula. It is widely recognised that urgent measures are required to address the water security issue on Eyre Peninsula. Whilst it is important to find solutions soon, it is important to get it right.</text>
        <text id="202502192a065ef7f8404bbf80001138">It was for this reason a parliamentary committee was established to investigate the issue, and the recommendations of that committee were clear: that the government should consider an alternate site other than Billy Lights Point, and I do hope to see this report fully supported and to pass parliament shortly. I do hope that in doing so the minister in charge of SA Water will take heed of this important recommendation. The recommendations are in line with the community and industry sentiment, and the government cannot and should not ignore this report. With that, I commend the report to the chamber.</text>
        <text id="202502192a065ef7f8404bbf80001139">Motion carried.</text>
