SA Water

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Can the minister update the house about the South Australian branch of the Australian Water Association's Organisational Excellence Award, and will she publicly congratulate the winner? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: On 18 November, the Australian Water Association posted on their LinkedIn page that SA Water took out the Organisational Excellence Award that night for the activating of South Australia's reservoir reserves for recreation, and I quote:

Underpinned by the best-available science and supported by leading-edge technologies, opening South Australian reservoir reserves for recreational access has proven that drinking water utilities can play an even broader role supporting the health, sustainability, and prosperity of our community.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:57): I am struggling to see quite what the question was there, but SA Water is a very fine institution and I am always happy to congratulate them on their work.
