In response to the Leader of the Opposition, Senator O'Brien, I have not received anything back on the pyrite report. I hope to have it in the next day or two. We all welcome the fact that the Priory Hall conciliation process is going on and would express our wish that it will reach a satisfactory conclusion. I certainly will bring the Senator's comments to the relevant persons.

Quite a number of Members spoke about water and water metering. Charges for water will not commence until 2014 and there will be ample time to discuss the question of water metering and water. Members should not rush. We do not want to get bogged down on water every day of the week. We will have plenty of time to discuss the issue.
