DESALINATION PLANT

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): By way of supplementary question, is there an annual payment to AGL, regardless of the amount of electricity used, to provide that supply to the desalination plant?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:23): I can only say that I imagine that, if we have entered into a 20-year contract with AGL, there will be an annual payment scheme—that makes sense.
