Well, there are a lot of meetings that happen, Senator Sterle. I'm not invited to a lot of them, as is the defence minister not invited to a lot of them, as is the minister for skills not invited to a lot of them et cetera. I'm the Minister for Agriculture. I'm involved in stakeholder meetings to do with the agriculture portfolio. The Minister for Water Resources, Drought, Rural Finance, Natural Disaster and Emergency Management, who is also responsible for the implementation of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan, is the absolutely appropriate minister to be conducting that meeting, as is Minister Ley, who has responsibilities for the Commonwealth water holder.
