Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Given the minister failed to mention the departure of Dr Diana Day or the departure of the previous chair of the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, Mr Taylor, will he rule out any encouragement by Mr Knowles or Mr Burke in either of those departures? Can he further rule out reports that Mr Knowles has been planning to sideline the board and that Mr Burke is planning to cleanse the board?
