MURRAY-DARLING BASIN AUTHORITY

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:31): I have a supplementary question.

The PRESIDENT: Did you hear any of the answer?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Not the answer, Mr President; I did not hear the answer.

The PRESIDENT: I will give you some latitude. I assume that you have a supplementary arising from the answer.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: Yes, Mr President. Minister, what advice did you get before making that decision and from what agency?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:31): As the honourable member knows full well, that decision was taken by a former minister. Of course, it was a decision taken at cabinet, of which I was a participant. I have to say to the honourable member again: look to your friends and see what they are doing for South Australia and the South Australian irrigators. Rather than coming into this chamber holier than thou and trying to hold us to account, go and talk to New South Wales about their 60 per cent reduction, and then come back and talk to me.
