We know that this government, the Albanese government, is determined to deliver the plan in full for future generations. We understand how important a healthy river system is for the entire country. More than 2.3 million Australians live along the basin. The basin is home to more than 40 of Australia's First Nations peoples. The Murray-Darling produces $22 billion in agricultural production a year and generates $11 billion in tourism for the Australian economy annually. (Time expired)
