My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, Senator Conroy. Can the minister please confirm that ABARES now estimates that there will be 5,000 direct job losses as a result of the Guide to the proposed Basin Plan, not the 800 job losses reported at the time the guide was released? As per the concerns of so many working families in the Murray-Darling Basin, can the minister please tell the Senate where these 5,000 jobs that are going to be lost will be?
