Murray-Darling Basin

The Minister for the Environment and Water confirmed yesterday she has written to and is speaking to basin water ministers because, obviously, we have to work with the states in order to deliver this. Minister Plibersek has also tasked her department to consult widely on creative and collaborative approaches on how we can deliver the plan in full. I say this: nothing is off the table, including voluntary buybacks, because it is clear that the approach that was taken on the other side did not work. (Time expired)
