My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, Senator Cash. In my home state of Queensland our agriculture industries contribute more than $12 billion to the economy. Without investment in water security, though, we risk the future of agriculture in the regions at a time when we're already navigating the economic impacts of COVID. Can the minister advise the Senate how the Morrison-McCormack government's plan to build dams across Australia is providing leadership on water security issues for rural and regional Australians?
