I, and also on behalf of Senators Wong, Farrell and Gallacher, move:

That the Senate—

(a) recognises the achievement of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan as a historically unprecedented way forward to deliver a healthy, working river system;

(b) notes the importance of the Basin Plan in supporting the economic and social needs of river communities, and maintaining the health of important ecosystems requiring water flows; and

(c) condemns attempts to undermine the Basin Plan for political gain.

Question agreed to.
