SA Water

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:39): As a supplementary, given the minister's answer, does he accept that he is a raging hypocrite for pretending to be anti-privatisation when he was secretly spending $100,000 on KPMG to try to sell off the desal plant and other SA Water assets prior to the election without telling the people of South Australia?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:39): The raging hypocrites are all on that side of the chamber. They are the ones who wanted to keep from South Australians their secret plans and they were caught out, because the South Australian public knows their form.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Honourable minister, sit down. There's no debate. The minister is trying to answer a question, so allow him to do it in silence. Have you finished your answer, minister?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I have.
