05 Feb 2013 questionsarchive

A supplementary question put forward to the Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) regarding money spent on marine parks.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:09): A further supplementary: based on the minister's original answer, the minister referred to the investment that had been made by the state. Can he provide a dollar figure for how much has been spent on marine parks in total to date?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:09): No, I will have to go back to I think 2000 when the Liberal Party started talking about this and I will see if I can come up with a figure when I go back to my department.
