I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 590 standing in my name for today, proposing an order for the production of documents.

Leave granted.

It's simply to change the date; this was a motion that was carried over from the last session. I will amend the motion by omitting 22 May 2020 and substituting 12 June 2020. I move the motion as amended:

That there be laid on the table by the Minister representing the Minister for Resources, Water and Northern Australia, by 9 am on 12 June 2020, the review into round one of the Water for Fodder program undertaken by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment, required under the agreement between the Australian and South Australian governments.

Round 1 of Water for Fodder has offered 40 gigalitres of water in 50-megalitre parcels to 800 farmers. It's a measure to help farmers to grow fodder, silage and pasture in the Murray-Darling Basin. Stakeholders and all participants have taken part in the review of round 1, including an online survey which received more than 800 responses. The government will consider the findings of the round 1 review in full and advise publicly of its response.

Question agreed to.
