My question is to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. Minister, given that Eildon Dam is at 13 per cent capacity and the water storages of Melbourne and Geelong are currently over 30 per cent capacity, will you guarantee that no environmental water will be diverted from the Murray-Darling Basin food bowl to the toilet bowls of Melbourne and Geelong via the north-south pipeline?
