My question is to the Minister for Resources and Minister for Northern Australia. Minister, would you agree that 92 per cent of Australia, which has only 1.2 million people, is an area bleeding? Three-quarters of Australia's water is in North Queensland's inland, not on its coast. HIPCo's Hughenden dam templates 13 schemes, each worth $300 million a year. Why not HIPCo dam now, Minister?
