MURRAY-DARLING BASIN PLAN

The Hon. M. PARNELL (14:50): I have a supplementary question in light of the minister's answer. What happens to this allegedly locked-in amount of 3,200 gigalitres if there is one or more change of government between now and the expiry of the plan in 2024, if it is not locked into legislation?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:50): The honourable member seems to have an unfortunate view of what might happen at the federal election. I don't think there will be a change of government.
