Thanks, Senator Price, for the question. We've certainly focused very much on water security, along with food security, today. In terms of water security, we know that it's important to have good drinking water in our communities. Minister Plibersek has identified a number of communities, and I'm more than happy to provide the names of those communities to you.

We have provided that in terms of the ability to build houses and to live in communities with good drinking water but we know that if we want to roll out our 30 dialysis units of four chairs across Australia, we need to have proper water functioning so that the dialysis units can be used. So I'm pleased to report to the Senate that we have a solid program, and we are building on that program, and, if we get the opportunity for a second term, we will continue to roll those out.
