Clare Valley Water Supply

The Hon. S.G. WADE (16:07): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Minister for Water and the River Murray in relation to Clare Valley water.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.G. WADE: As the government has agreed to relief for Clare Valley grape growers in respect of their water requirements, will the government provide the same relief for other primary producers across the state? If not, why not?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (16:08): I refuse to be verballed by members of the opposition in terms of what we have agreed and what we haven't agreed. If the honourable member wants any clarification, he can refer to the paper tabled by my leader today in relation to the agreement between the Premier and the member for Frome.
