I get the interjections from those opposite, so I encourage them to ring the Premier of Queensland, who is the only person standing in the way of the Emu Swamp dam being built and the Rookwood Weir being built to the full capacity that we pledged to build it to. We want to get on and build this dam infrastructure, this water infrastructure, the pipelines—the plumbing of the nation, which is going to support our agricultural industries not just today but into the future. On this side of the House, we want to build dams; we want to build lots of dams. On that side of the House, they don't want to build any dams. How do we know that? Because their Labor cousins in the states continue to say no each and every time.
