Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I can assume from that answer that no states have drafted any legislation to introduce these reforms. In light of the lack of, or the hold-up in, whole-of-basin reforms, could the minister inform the Senate as to how many irrigation districts, areas—whichever name the various states use—are approaching the four per cent threshold cap on permanent trade out of their irrigation area, and could she name these, please?
