I move:

At the end of the motion, add:

                 but the Senate calls on the Government to:

             (a)    direct the CSIRO to undertake a comprehensive hydrological assessment of the proposed North-South pipeline project, and the proposed extraction of water for the pipeline; including an audit of the water savings to be achieved by the Victorian Food Bowl Modernisation Project and its impact on the water resources and environment of the Murray-Darling Basin; and

             (b)    ensure that the CSIRO is adequately funded to undertake that assessment.

This amendment seeks to amend the amendment moved by Senator Minchin, as amended by Senator Siewert.
