WATER

498. Mr D.T. REDMAN to the Minister for Water:
I have a supplementary question. To
give us confidence that the minister is over his brief, can he describe the
difference between water licences and the water entitlement?

AnswerView source ↗

You are a funny guy!
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Members! Member
for Warren–Blackwood!
Mr D.J. KELLY : If the member
wants me to explain to him the difference between a licence that has to be
renewed, whether it be in one year or 10 years, and having an entitlement—under
the regime that is contemplated under that legislation—to a share of a consumptive
pool, he should ask for a briefing. There is a clear difference between a licence
and having an entitlement to a share of a consumptive pool. If the member wants
me to give him more details, I am more than happy to ask for a briefing.
Mr Z.R.F. Kirkup interjected.
The SPEAKER : Member for
Dawesville!
Mr D.J. KELLY : Any other
questions the member has, let me know. The member could explain why in eight
and a half years he never did it. He could explain that.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Is everybody
finished?
