Senator WONG (South Australia—Leader of the Opposition in the Senate) (16:25): I, and also on behalf of Senators Bernardi, Gichuhi, Hanson-Young and Xenophon, move: (1) That the Senate— (a) affirms its support for the Murray-Darling Basin Plan; (b) expresses deep concerns about allegations of theft and corruption in management of water resources in the Barwon-Darling Basin raised by the Four Corners report on 24 July 2017; (c) notes the matter has been referred to the Australian National Audit Office and New South Wales authorities for investigation; (d) considers a state-based inquiry into allegations, revealed in the report, to be insufficient and that the only way to ensure confidence in states' commitment to achieve the Murray-Darling Basin Plan is through a national investigation; (e) calls for the establishment of an independent national judicial inquiry through the Council of Australian Governments; and (f) calls on all governments to commit to achieving a healthy, sustainable Murray-Darling Basin which supports the future prosperity of the communities which rely upon it. (2) This resolution be communicated to the House of Representatives for concurrence. I seek leave to make a statement of no more than one minute. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator WONG: It is very unusual for a motion to be supported by the Labor Party and Senators Bernardi, Gichuhi, Hanson-Young and Xenophon, but this cross-party group of South Australian senators are coming together to demand a real inquiry into the Murray-Darling Basin. It is utterly clear that this government, under this Prime Minister, is not working to deliver the Murray-Darling Basin Plan in full. It is utterly clear, yet again, that the Deputy Prime Minister does not have the best interests of the basin at heart, as evidenced by his statements in the Shepparton pub that Senator Bernardi and others have spoken about, and it is clear that this Prime Minister, to date, has not been willing to do the right thing and make Mr Joyce do the right thing. I thank the Greens and Senators Bernardi, Gichuhi and Xenophon for their support.
