I thank the honourable member for her question. As she knows, the undertakings that have been made by the government on this issue are particularly clear. As she also knows, the $12.9 million commitment that the government has made to the Water for the Future program is unparalleled in the history of approaches to this issue. The government has identified as necessary an investment of $3.1 billion in restoring health to the Murray-Darling Basin and the region. On that basis, the government’s policy position has been particularly clear.
