My question is to the Deputy Prime Minister and relates to the upgrade of Chaffey Dam in my electorate. Given the Deputy Prime Minister’s recent statements that the Prime Minister’s $10 billion water plan will not affect dam upgrades for communities in the Murray-Darling system, and given that the New South Wales government and other stakeholders have committed $22 million to a safety and capacity upgrade costing a total of $28 million, will the Deputy Prime Minister commit to the $6 million requested by the Chaffey Dam reference panel for this much-needed project?
