My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, Minister Canavan. Minister, the South Australian royal commission is today hearing from a former CSIRO scientist who alleges that the MDBA actively suppressed the CSIRO's evidence that the Basin Plan target of 2,750 gigalitres would fail to secure the future of the river. Your government is going to the High Court to avoid appearing before the royal commission and answering questions. You're hiding departmental officials and MDBA officials past and present, and hiding documents, and now we're seeing the CSIRO being asked to hide as well. When is this government going to give the people of South Australia the respect they deserve, stop hiding and tell the truth?
