It is interesting I get interjections from the opposition. This is a party that never wanted to buy water now complaining about a four per cent cap, which you actually support. Which is your position, Senator Abetz—through you, Mr President?

I just want to make one comment in response to the supplementary question. In relation to state legislation, obviously that is an issue for the states in terms of where they are up to in their drafting. What we are doing is working with them through the process to deliver an agreement those on the other side were never able to deliver, because they were a party that did not believe in working with the states to deliver a whole-of-basin reform.
