My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Farrell, a fellow South Australian. After a decade of broken promises, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan has left the river, the environment and the communities out to dry. The 450 gigalitres promised for the environment and South Australia has not been delivered. The government is now saying 450 gigalitres will be delivered in full by a new December 2027 deadline. What guarantees can the minister give the Senate that the 450 gigalitres will be delivered in full and on time under this new deadline?
