Thank you, Mr President. The announced reviews into the Barwon-Darling water theft allegations all fall under state or federal ministerial direction. Given the minister's own party's significant entanglement in the matter, in the interests of public confidence in the Basin Plan, in the interests of justice and transparency, will the minister explain why the government refuses to back an independent judicial inquiry into the allegations?
