I thank the senator for the question. I understand that a decision is yet to be made on the 2017-18 milestone payment with New South Wales. In all cases, that type of decision is actually informed by the performance of, in this case, New South Wales in its 2016-17 system under the national partnership agreement. Full assessments of all basin jurisdictions, including New South Wales, are going to be published on the department's website once a decision has been made on all assessments by that minister.
