Senator CANAVAN (Queensland—Minister for Resources and Northern Australia) (14:04): The starting statement—the starting words—in your question are incorrect. We are not ripping up the Basin Plan; we are implementing the Basin Plan. Indeed, we will also implement the Basin Plan in a much more responsible way than the former government was doing. Senator Wong: South Australians should move to where the water is—is that the government's position? Senator CANAVAN: The former government—I think Senator Wong might have had something to do with it—was buying water willy-nilly all over the place, with no consideration of the impact on basin communities. They were paying out $300 million to Johnny Kahlbetzer and more than $20 million to buy Toorale Station without even considering the impact on these basin communities. That was not how the Basin Plan was meant to be implemented. The Basin Plan was meant to be implemented in a way which balanced economic, social and environmental considerations. That is not the approach of the former government, but it is the approach of this government. That is what we are committed to doing. We are committed to doing that with the states and territories. We should all get back to cooperating about this important national reform.
