On 25 November, this week, in theWater Amendment Bill 2008 debate in the Senate, Minister Penny Wong seriously and, I suspect, purposely misrepresented my position on Labor’s water-purchasing strategy. Minister Wong said:
Dr Stone does not mind purchase—
of water—
as long as it is only in New South Wales. I am not sure she has told you, Senator Nash, that she is happy if we purchase but only if it is in New South Wales.
Mr Deputy Speaker, I have been on the public record continuously and loudly since Labor announced its naive and destructive water buyback scheme.
