Thank you, Mr President. Key programs within the SRWUIP include 16 state priority projects, SPPs, as well as the Menindee project, up to $400 million; the On-Farm Irrigation Efficiency Program, $300 million—you are taking notes, are you, Rumpole?—the Strengthening Basin Community Program, $200 million; and $140 million for irrigation efficiency upgrades in Tasmania. A major state priority project, the Northern Victoria Irrigation Renewal Project, stage 2, was announced on 6 November 2010.
