My question is to the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources. The government has announced funding of $25 million for water feasibility. This now brings to over $140 million the expenditure on reports and assessments, yet in our 25 years we have not had a shovel of concrete put across the gutter. Surely, Minister, it is better for the money to go into engineering work on ready-to-go projects like Hell's Gate dam, which will inject $2 billion each and every year into North Queensland's economy.
