We have a $400 million commitment. I do not know how many more dollars than your commitment that is, Senator Birmingham—I would have to go back and check—but it is probably about $400 million. I just remind the senator that, if he wishes to continue with this ‘don’t fill Menindee Lakes’ argument, perhaps he should make sure he has the support of his party room. Honestly, Senator Birmingham is turning into the Greg Hunt of the Senate: putting forward things that simply do not have the support of his party room, not talking to his colleagues from other states and pretending he can deliver when he cannot. Senator, you had better find yourself a different mentor.
