Minister, we have spent $13 billion on a basin plan, but we cannot even deliver clean drinking water to the basin communities, and farmers constantly feel under attack. Isn't it time to stop the buybacks and instead invest in providing basin communities with potable and reliable water supply?

Again, after 10 years of coalition government, where they let the people of Narrandera go through drinking water like what you've got on your table, and not a cent spent on fixing the problem, we now have a government that's investing in fixing the problem. And you're complaining after turning your back on these people for 10 years. This is why the National Party is on track to come fourth at best in the Farrer by-election—because people know you have no solutions for them. How much did they get in South Australia? Half a per cent?
