Mr President, I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for getting to half of the question eventually. It would have been far easier to do that in the first place. Is the minister aware that in every year Labor have been in office they have underspent the budget on water-saving infrastructure projects? Given that, will the minister confirm that this trend is set to continue under Labor, with the MYEFO document exposing a further delay in delivering water-saving infrastructure by pushing $450 million out beyond the forward estimates?
