FARM WATER STORAGE

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14:50): I have a supplementary question. Given the minister's answer about the high scientific technology that is used to estimate the capacity of dams, can he explain then why calculations of capacity have been done and, in one case, found to be 4.4 million litres overestimated?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:50): I thank the honourable member for her supplementary. I am not aware of any individual cases where there has been an over or under estimation of dam capacity. As I said—

The Hon. A. Bressington: Doesn't your CEO talk to you?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: If you don't want the answer, Ms Bressington, don't ask.
