SA Water

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (14:45): Supplementary: minister, does that mean my constituents who are still waiting for out-of-pocket expenses and accommodation costs to be refunded will be assisted sooner rather than later?

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (14:45): Absolutely. We know that historically SA Water used not to deal with out-of-pocket expenses and damage to property and instead referred people to their insurance companies to work through that matter. That is not the case anymore. SA Water will support people through the claims process, whether that is a partnership between SA Water and their private insurers, and I will ensure the cases that the member for Florey brings to the house's attention are followed up forthwith.
