My question is to the Minister for Climate Change and Water, Senator Wong. Can the minister advise the Senate on the progress of the Rudd government’s Water for the Future plan, given that the circumstances in the Murray-Darling Basin are very challenging, and in the context of the government’s $12.9 billion plan to secure our water supplies, to take action on climate change, to use water wisely and to support healthy rivers? Can the minister describe the challenges in getting the Murray-Darling Basin back on a sustainable footing?
