Senator BRANDIS (Queensland—Attorney-General, Vice-President of the Executive Council and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:22): Again, Senator Moore, through you, Mr President, the government is committed to the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. Senator Moore, I could not pretend to explain the Murray-Darling Basin Plan to you with the eloquence with which Senator Canavan has explained it on several occasions this week. But I can assure you, Senator Moore, that the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and all members of the government are strongly in support of the Murray-Darling Basin Plan. As you know, Senator, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan is based on an approach to water management that delivers three objectives: a healthy basin that supports productive industries; confident communities; and a resilient environment. It is the objective of this government and the outcome to which we are working, in collaboration with the states, to achieve all three of those outcomes.
