Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In recent weeks a landowner in this area was found guilty of trespassing on their own property under the EPBC Act, which was overlooked because of the alleged behaviour of the Victorian government. Does the minister realise that Melbourne has many other water supply options, all of them more reliable and renewable than the drought stressed Goulburn River—recycling, stormwater, harvesting, desalination, water conservation and further dam construction—south of the Great Dividing Range in a different rain shadow?
