Mr President, I ask a supplementary question. I note the minister started out by saying that later today she would provide information to the Senate but then corrected herself to say she would be making a statement to the Senate. My question to the minister is this: does the urgent advice to which she referred earlier this year actually exist? If it does exist, why is it so hard for the minister to table that advice or is it simply a case that the government is waving the white flag on the Murray River?
