ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AUTHORITY

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): My question is again to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation. Why does the public continue to find out via the media rather than the government about instances of environmental contamination, given that the minister told the house on 26 July 2011:

What I have attempted to do since I have been minister is ensure that the EPA becomes totally transparent about the information it provides to people.

The Hon. P. CAICA (Colton—Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:47): Madam Speaker, that is absolutely correct.
