My question is to the Acting Prime Minister, Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, Education and Social Inclusion. Acting Prime Minister, why has the government turned a blind eye to the rogue actions of the Victorian Labor government’s extraction of 75 billion litres of water a year from the Goulburn River to Melbourne when that water should be returned to the Living Murray Initiative? Does this extraction not make a mockery of the government’s national management plan for the Murray-Darling Basin?
