I seek leave to make a short statement.
Jonathon Duniam Tasmania, Liberal Party, Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries
The Liberal and National government is committed to working with the states in a bipartisan manner supporting the implementation of the plan through the recovery of water through the $1.33 billion off-farm efficiencies and $234 million for community activity, while ruling out further buybacks that cost jobs and hurt our regional basin communities.
Question agreed to.
