AnswerView source ↗

I thank Hon Paul Llewellyn for providing notice of this and the other questions relating to the Wellington Dam. I have answers to some of them. In relation to this particular question, providing the information in the time required is not possible. Hon Paul Llewellyn : That was yesterday’s answer. Hon KIM CHANCE : And it is the same today. The Minister for Water Resources has requested that I seek to have this question put on notice. By way of explanation, this question does not seem to be detailed but it does, in fact, involve some highly complicated calculations. I do hope that we can provide the member with the answer in good time.
