We will move on to another issue that may or may not be a deal-breaker—I think it was a deal-breaker a week ago—and that is the issue of the 450 billion litres of water going to the Murray. Senator Xenophon quite rightly indicated that he was concerned about that a week or so ago, when he indicated that he would not support the passage of the legislation unless there was a commitment to the 450 gigalitres into environmental flows for South Australia. Could Senator Xenophon outline whether he has indeed secured any commitment for that 450 gigalitres of water into South Australia and, if so, what form this commitment takes.
