BERRI BOWLING CLUB

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (14:52): Supplementary question. Given that the minister responded to me on 25 July about a speedy response, will he clarify what he regards as a speedy response for this initiative in Berri, supported by the community, which has been delayed five years so far?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:53): The honourable member indicates in his supplementary that this matter has been ongoing for quite some time. Whilst I have committed to making this a speedy resolution of this process, he can hardly think that the limited amount of time that I have spent on it so far would equate to the last five years, I am pretty sure. We are working our way through this process as best we can. There is goodwill on both sides and I am expectant of a speedy outcome.
