I am very happy to take this specific detail on notice for the senator, but I do note—and the senator may not be aware—that the Murray-Darling Basin Authority has significant information-gathering powers under the Water Act, including powers to request information directly related to the implementation of the Basin Plan. This has been a very considered response from the government. I think people out there in the community would think that we are indeed doing what we need to do in response to the allegations at hand.
