I move general business notice of motion No. 244:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

  (i) the statement made by the Queensland Premier, Ms Annastacia Palaszczuk, reported in the Brisbane Times on 30 October 2019, indicating she would be open to discussing the development of a 'smaller version of the Bradfield scheme' with Prime Minister Scott Morrison, and

  (ii) that, on 1 November 2019, the Courier Mail reported that LNP Leader, Ms Deb Frecklington, has committed to an updated version of the Bradfield Scheme in the form of a 'multibillion-dollar water scheme that could drought-proof parched western Queensland'; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to take the necessary steps to ensure the construction of a Bradfield-type scheme can begin, in Queensland, as swiftly as possible.
