I thank the member for Mayo for his question. Firstly, on the question of the release of waters from New South Wales to the state of South Australia and the various needs placed on the Murray in that state both urban and rural, the Premier of South Australia and I have discussed this. Secondly, I have also discussed it with the Premier of New South Wales. Could I also say in response to the honourable member’s question that the Minister for Climate Change and Water has actively discussed the needs of South Australia with both premiers.
