CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:35): Supplementary: how did the minister and her department or SA Water arrive at the decision to open the water allocation points only two hours a day and only on Wednesday and Thursday, and what will be SA Water's assessment criteria for extension of operating hours, mentioned in the minister's answer? The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries Drought Assistance The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:36): The operating hours, as I mentioned, can be changed if there is clearly a demand. Obviously, the uptake will be monitored. If there are many, many people arriving, then clearly it might be appropriate to extend the hours. If there are very few, it may not be so appropriate to extend the hours. Indeed, if there is feedback to the department or indeed to government from many people saying that there is not an appropriate timeframe, then it will be changed.
