Senator ROBERTS (Queensland) (14:35): Twice I've asked: do you support my request? So let me try a second question. Farmers and communities in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales are in dire straits yet cannot take water from the Murray, while Murray water is currently flooding the Perricoota State Forest. Would you as Minister for Agriculture prefer the water to flood the state forest or to go to farmers to produce a crop this year to save communities and farms from ruin?
