Again, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan was subject to an enormous amount of research and consultation, and the senator knows that.

The reality, though, is that none of that will change the minds of the National Party. I will just remind you, Senator, of some of your colleagues, Senator Ruston said:

We will not stop trying, because we are committed to the delivery of the plan.

Senator Birmingham said:

… the government stands resolute in its support … of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan … in full and on time.

Mr Stevens and Senator McLachlan said that they supported buybacks. So what is your policy? In government, we know what it is. What is it in opposition? What is the Dutton opposition's policy on the Murray-Darling Basin?
