Anthony Albanese (Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Manager of Opposition Business in the House) Share this | Hansard source

Mr Deputy Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The minister should stop his rhetoric and actually answer the question. The question that he has failed to address at all is: why were a number of sweeping assumptions made? Why was a committee asked to report on that basis? He says it is a desktop report. What sort of report into a dam for the Clarence and the Tweed is it that has no site investigations? Not surprisingly, he has not responded at all to his failure to support the super pipe going not just to Bendigo but to Ballarat.
