OLYMPIC DAM

The Hon. M. PARNELL (15:02): I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for his answer, which bore no relation to the question. I asked about radiation management plans not reports. My question is: when will these radiation management plans be updated and, if you do need to bring an answer back in relation to that question, will you commit to ensuring that these plans are published in the public realm so that we do not have to chase them under the Freedom of Information Act and wait 10 months for a response?

The PRESIDENT: That is stretching the rules about supplementaries, given your opinion and your comment but, minister, you will see fit to answer it as you will.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:02): Thank you, Mr President. There might be one nugget in that supplementary, omitting all the commentary, as you suggested. I will have a look at the plans, as the honourable member has asked, and I will consider whether it is appropriate to bring back a response.
