I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

  (i) the importance of the agricultural industry for the Queensland and Australian economy,

  (ii) the need to get water to the drought stricken farmers, to ensure the survival of family farms, and

  (iii) that water, via irrigation, is the best form of aid that can be given to farmers;

(b) acknowledges that the Bradfield Scheme, as envisioned by Mr John J.C. Bradfield, would irrigate vast areas west of the Great Dividing Range; and

(c) calls on the Senate to support the construction of the Bradfield Scheme.
