Lower River Murray Levees

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary: does the minister think a levee that overtops at two knots past minimum threshold is a suitably maintained levee?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:34): I thank the honourable member for her further question. I think it is fair to say that severe weather events are becoming more extreme and unpredictable, and certainly those people in the Lower Murray Reclaimed Irrigation Areas know that from recent events. There is a significant amount of work that needs to be done. That work is continuing.
