I seek leave to amend general business notice of motion No. 117 standing in my name for today relating to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan.

Leave granted.

I move the motion as amended:

That the Senate calls on the Turnbull Government to deliver the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in its entirety, including the additional 450 gigalitres of environmental water that the science shows is the minimum necessary amount of water diversion required to keep the Murray River healthy, flowing and the mouth open at least 9 out of 10 years, as well as the South Australian agricultural sector and environment thriving.
