Clare Valley Water Supply

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (17:31): My question is again to the Minister for Regional Development. Why did the minister say on 12 November last year, in relation to the Minister for Water, the Hon. Ian Hunter MLC, that he considered 'the lack of understanding by the minister very disturbing'?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (17:32): Can I ask the member for Goyder to elaborate on that because, if he said 12 November last year, I would have to check. Can the member further elaborate, otherwise I will need to take that on notice to get the Hansard.

Mr GRIFFITHS: In providing some supplementary comments to the minister: if he reflected upon his own press release of 12 November, it relates to where he talks about water costs to the Clare Valley grape growers and the requests that you put through to minister Hunter.

The SPEAKER: Sorry; what was that contribution?

An honourable member: A further supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: That was a supplementary?

Mr GRIFFITHS: The minister sought additional details from me, so I provided it to him.

The Hon. G.G. BROCK: Mr Speaker, I will take that on notice and get back to the member.
