Prime Minister, the Hell's Gate dam/UBR irrigation scheme is the only project that has received federal funding—bipartisan. Queensland and New South Wales now mandate ethanol in fuel. This, with new cattle feed technology, makes irrigation profitable. In light of discussions between Queensland's Premier and America on its green fleet—Pacific fleet biofuelling—would you not see UBRIS/Hell's Gate as the most immediate project for Minister Frydenberg's $5,000 million northern Australia fund?
