In 86AD, titled 'Purposes of the Water for the Environment Special Account', under 86AD(2)(a) we see:

(v)   entering agreements to acquire an interest in, or in relation to, land (including easements) to facilitate environmental watering—

Does that actually mean this money can be used to acquire land, not water? It is a pity I had not come here a couple of days ago, I would have pulled all this apart properly. It is a joke.
