It refers to the statement of the New South Wales Independent Pricing Tribunal yesterday that water prices in New South Wales would increase by an average of 35 per cent by 2014. I ask the minister: by how much more will water prices increase as a result of the cutbacks proposed in the Murray-Darling Basin’s guide?
