My question is to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. Minister, Taskers New Holland, a family machinery dealership in Deniliquin in my electorate of Farrer will not be taking on two new apprentices next year as a result of their concerns for future business prospects given the Murray-Darling Basin Authority’s guide. Why didn’t the minister give any consideration to the impact on businesses and families of drastic cuts prior to the release of the Murray-Darling Basin guide?
