Absolutely it does, yes. I'll take the interjection from the member at the table, who is, himself, from South Australia. If he was fair dinkum about this, he'd back this plan. He'd be working with his irrigators to ensure that they have enough water.
Yelling at me will not solve this issue. I have been talking to rural irrigators right across this country. Irrigators in the Murrumbidgee and across Australia know that we need to work with them, not against them, to put this plan in place.
