I thank Senator Hanson-Young for her question, although unfortunately it contains a number of incorrect claims. The water purchase from Eastern Australia Agriculture was for an amount of water that was greater than five times the figures that were quoted in the media that you referred to in your question, Senator Hanson-Young. So it's incorrect. It is absolutely incorrect to say that the government paid a price that was above the seller's price.
