I move, as an amendment to the amendment moved by Senator Minchin, Australian Greens amendment on sheet 5690:

                 After paragraph (a) of the amendment, insert:

           (aa)    encourage and support other populations outside the Basin who currently rely on the extraction of water from the basin to broaden their water security by expanding their use of other water sources such as stormwater capture and recycling;

This amendment seeks to amend the opposition amendment on sheet 5688 by inserting a paragraph along the lines I discussed earlier in the debate—that is, ‘encourage and support other populations outside the Basin who currently rely on the extraction of water from the basin to broaden their water security by expanding their use of other water sources such as stormwater capture and recycling’.
