Of course, it is. The opposition no doubt feel sidelined here. The fact is: no Greens, no package here. I commend Senator Fielding and Senator Xenophon for the added outcome here. It is a great outcome for all concerned. I am not going to extend this, but the fact is the Murray-Darling Basin has been in extremis, and that is because of 12 years of inaction of the last government.
