A 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 the Southern Expressway.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:01): By way of supplementary question, why did the minister omit from his list of achievements dragging the media down for the opening of the halfway point of the Southern Expressway?

The PRESIDENT: I don't see that arising out of the answer.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (15:01): The honourable member will also note that I omitted from that list of achievements dragging the media up to Mount Lofty for no plan at all!

The Hon. K.J. Maher: That was the plan.

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: Exactly right! The Hon. Ms Lensink bells the cat because, of course, the honourable Leader of the Opposition has no plans at all and drags people up to Mount Lofty to tell them so.
