Lake Albert Scoping Study

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Given the lake cycling option, when does the minister expect that the local economy will recover to the pre-drought activity?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:35): That really does depend on the environmental conditions that we face into the near future. As much as I like to be in charge of my portfolio areas, I cannot be in charge of the weather.
