Malcolm Turnbull (Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister) Share this | Hansard source

A triple bottom line—exactly. The honourable member assists me. That is the commitment. That is the agreement. And it is an agreement that the Labor government entered into with the states. So it is perfectly clear what the deal is. We are committed to it. I gather the Premier of South Australia is committed to it, too—in fact, I know he is committed to it. And we will deliver on the plan, but it is an agreement which does require that triple bottom line, and honourable members, particularly from irrigation areas and from South Australia, need to recognise that this is a deal that was done with a triple-bottom-line commitment. It was entered into by a Labor government when the member for Watson was the minister. It is very clear. It is set out there. We are committed to it and we are working to deliver it.
