My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Wong. I ask the minister: given the dire situation facing local communities dependent on the Lower Lakes and the Coorong in our home state of South Australia, will her government support the coalition’s proposal to establish a $50 million emergency assistance fund to provide immediate assistance to the local people, businesses, community and wildlife of the Lower Lakes?
