Site Contamination, Clovelly Park and Mitchell Park

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:25): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister cite any single resident in any of the transcripts in the last 24 hours who has not expressed concern that they would prefer to have been notified earlier rather than that the government implement its rather superficial strategy?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:26): The honourable member again does not have any thought for the residents' concerns; none at all. Contrary to the Liberal Party in this place, my view and my concern at all times was for the residents. I think they should have been the first ones to hear this information firsthand from the government agencies involved, but unfortunately the Liberal Party had a different view.
