One Nation will support this motion. Nationals Senators Davey and McKenzie refer to 'outdated, fragmented and unfair regulations around water management'. That is, in fact, federal law: the Water Act 2007 and the Murray-Darling Basin Plan water trading regulations. The Howard-Turnbull pair introduced both. Taken together, the act and regulations implemented a globalist strategy to replace family farming and family based communities with large corporate mono-agriculture and on-farm accommodation. They separated water allocations from land ownership. The ACCC report confirms that the plan has produced unfair outcomes and potentially illegal behaviour. The Nationals should know that these regulations are unfair, because the Nationals passed them. Now, 13 years later, with disastrous opinion polls, the Nationals are talking of family farms, yet coalition elites block their path. This motion has limited credibility.

Question agreed to.
