My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister. I refer to the Deputy Prime Minister's earlier answer. As a result of water entitlement prices doubling in some major catchments of the Murray-Darling Basin, has the Deputy Prime Minister been trying to secure additional funds to guarantee that the 450 gigalitres can be delivered, or has the Deputy Prime Minister been trying to cut government funding to the Murray-Darling Basin?

I thank the honourable member for his question and thought he might understand his own act, which he wrote. He would know full well, if he was competent, that there is a review in 2019. You would remember writing that, wouldn't you?
