Kingston SE Boat Ramp

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Supplementary question: could the minister please ask the agency about the risk to life because of the sea rescue vessel not being able to use that facility? I know the previous risk to life was from inundation and flooding. We are now in the busy boating season, not in the middle of the winter raining season, so I expect that the real risk to life would be any delays in getting that vessel out to sea.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:26): That is a question of course that I will direct to them, but I suspect it will turn on a definition of 'imminent threat' or 'imminent emergency', rather than a hypothetical one. Again, this is something that I will be need to be guided on by a legal interpretation of the operation of the act and that's what I will be requesting the EPA to give me some advice on so that I can bring it back for the honourable member's benefit as soon as possible.
