Save the River Murray Fund

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:30): I have a supplementary question. What is minister Brock's involvement in approving expenditure?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:30): As I have said, I am the person who makes the final sign-off on these things. Minister Brock, of course, as the Minister for Regional Development, has a very appropriate role in helping the community, and he has a very appropriate role in addressing issues of regional concerns. He and I work very closely, of course, as you would expect, on matters that are of importance to rural and regional South Australia, but, as I understand it, my role is to sign-off on the applications for funding.
