My question is also to the minister for agriculture. Minister, are you now responsible for water buybacks?

That is a rather profound question! When I went to Government House they swore me in as the minister for water resources as well as agriculture. It is incredible. Any more questions like this and we will be here for another five minutes.

Mr Speaker, I seek leave to table the administrative arrangements, which do suggest that the minister has just misled the House.

Leave not granted.
