I have a question for the minister that may be related. Minister, I want to ask about the definition of ‘conveyance water’ in the bill. I am sure you are very familiar with it. I am referring to schedule 1, item 2, page 12, lines 22 to 24 of the bill which defines conveyance water as:
… water in the River Murray System required to deliver water to meet critical human water needs as far downstream as Wellington in South Australia.
Minister, can you explain the intent of the inclusion of the words in that definition ‘as far downstream as Wellington in South Australia’?
