After 24 hours of absolute chaos in this place and the other—because of the rift and division within the government—we are now here, well past the time we should have finished, still debating a piece of legislation that this government doesn't even have a unified position on. It is an absolute disgrace. On the one hand you want to manage the Murray-Darling Basin, and on the other hand you've got members of your own government saying that South Australia doesn't need fresh water. You are an absolute disgrace. It's a shambles. There is no way we should be dealing with this, right here, right now, when you can't even get your own house sorted out.
