The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:15): Supplementary: will the government consider charging BHP for this water?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (15:15): As I said, I am happy to go away with some of my colleagues who have portfolio responsibilities and find out what is being done to try to reduce the reliance on these water supplies.
