In southern New South Wales we have a farmer growing oats who usually expects six tonnes per hectare if irrigated. He's now harvesting 0.5 of a tonne per hectare. In another paddock, for hay, he typically has 130 semitrailer loads of hay. He'll be lucky to get seven this time. He has no water allocation, yet there are environmental flows flooding the back of his farm. These environmental flows had happened four of the last six years, and that's unnatural. We request that this not be passed.

Question agreed to.
