          <by role="member" id="4837">The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water) (14:23):</by>  I thank the deputy leader for her question. The ministerial council, held a week and a half ago, canvassed a broad range of issues with regard to the Murray-Darling Basin and really our main focus was on ensuring that there was a pathway forward for the plan and, importantly, securing the 450 gigalitres of environmental flows to South Australia. There was only very basic discussion about the Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission and no detailed conversations were had in regard to it.</text>
