Personal Explanation

Western Mount Lofty Ranges Water Allocation Plan

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (15:33): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE: Based on the minister's answer, I put on the public record—because of implications for members of parliament and I asked the question—that I have never, ever said to any constituent that they should not pay the water levy. In fact, I have made it very clear to them that at this point in time, under the law of South Australia, they are legally obligated to make the payment and, where they are irrigators, put water meters on their bores and dams.
