Personal Explanation

MURRAY-DARLING BASIN

Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (18:11): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

Mr WILLIAMS: The Premier just informed the house that I was in error, apparently, when I suggested that Dr Tony Minns told me that 2,750 gigalitres, as proposed in the draft basin plan, was equivalent to 3,500 gigalitres in the guide. When I made that comment, I was working from memory. If the Premier tells me that he has contacted Dr Tony Minns and has been informed that the figure is 3,250 (the 2,750 in the plan being equivalent to 3,250 in the earlier guide), I accept that I may have been in error there, and I wish to make that point and correct the record.


At 18:12 the house adjourned until Thursday 5 April 2012 at 10:30.
