Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. Minister, the key here is that farmers are concerned about the long-term viability of their farms if the Latrobe aquifer water levels keep falling. These farms are their livelihoods and their homes, and the community relies on them. Minister, will the government commit to fixing the problem of falling water levels in the Latrobe aquifer, given that the farmers feel they have no voice against the interests of the big oil and coal companies?
