I thank the honourable member for her question, because the Warrego River in fact lies in my electorate, and I do know the proponents, as you would in a small community of Cunnamulla of only 800 people. It is quite obvious. Let me say around the pricing that was put in place, it is always at arm's length from the government. In fact, I was not even the minister when those negotiations took place. So if you're here to try and character assassinate me in some cheap attempt to score some political points in South Australia, well, you destroyed the Basin Plan, along with the Labor Party! This was their plan. This was their review.
