As I indicated to Senator Fielding, there is a study underway. There is also, I am advised, a local stakeholder group providing input to this study. I do understand that there are sections of the community, particularly the irrigation industry, who are very concerned about this issue. As I said, we will consider the issue of compensation after we have received the report. As I previously indicated, the advice I have to date is that the study will be completed in March this year.
