My question is to the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. I refer the minister to the comments by the head of the National Farmers Federation yesterday:

The last two weeks have gone so badly that we actually threaten the entire water reform agenda … at the moment the trust in our communities in regional Australia is threadbare …

Why won’t the minister attend any of the 19 community briefings on the Murray-Darling Basin guide to help restore trust in the government’s ability to deliver balanced and consultative water reform?
