Murray-Darling Basin Royal Commission

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:28): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier yet arranged a meeting with the Prime Minister and premiers of basin states to discuss the royal commission on the Murray-Darling Basin?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:28): Thank you very much. It is a very important issue. I can report to this parliament that I wrote to the Prime Minister shortly after the election result was clear, and I sent that letter off within the first couple of days after he was sworn in. I have not checked with my department today, but I will check if there has been a response.
