WADE Legislative Council Murray-Darling Basin The Hon. S.G. WADE (16:09): I ask some questions of the Minister for Water and the River Murray. Can the minister advise why the government is yet to sign a project agreement for South Australia to access the Australian government's $25 million Murray-Darling Basin Economic Diversification Program, and why has it taken more than a year to negotiate a project agreement for South Australia to access this funding, particularly when all other states are already delivering their allocation on agreed projects?

HUNTER Legislative Council Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation Murray-Darling Basin The Hon.
