Mr Speaker, my question is to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. As the minister responsible for the joint issues of population and water, and with the imminent release of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, could the minister outline the way in which he intends to handle the key issues of water in regional communities in the Murray-Darling Basin system and the potential population shifts in both a positive and negative direction in country areas due to changes potentially in the plan?

Water water everywhere but not a drop of factual sense to drink, between the breaking of the drought, supported by long range weather/climate forecasts which were conveniently ignored, and the infantile conjoint twins of labor and their greens. Spend, spend, spend, any and all of Australias savings and incur all amounts of unsustainable debt to support their prescriptive worker cottages etc everywhere mentality, except for themselves (hypocrites). But what the heck, after 3 terms in state or federal politics they will receive an inflation adjusted pension for life, whatever the results on the ground, and in their taxpayer funded financially secure retirement will enjoy their self-flagellation on the porch wallowing in doubt, what misery?
