My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, Senator Canavan. I refer to the Prime Minister, who yesterday wrote to the Premier of South Australia to convey his government's commitment to implementing the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in full and on time. On the very same day, the Deputy Prime Minister refused to back away from his statement that the delivery of 450 gigalitres of upwater, key to the plan, did not have a 'hope in hades of being delivered'. Who is correct, the Prime Minister or the Deputy Prime Minister?
