Senator FARRELL (South Australia—Minister for Trade and Tourism, Special Minister of State and Deputy Leader of the Government in the Senate) (14:42): I would plead with the states not to walk away from the Basin Plan, because the one bit of hope that the Murray-Darling Basin has is that we deliver on what was agreed more than nine years ago: 450 gigalitres of water. If we don't, we risk the ongoing survival of that— Senator McKenzie: Back buybacks! Actually 2,750— The PRESIDENT: Senator McKenzie! The minister is answering, please listen. Please continue, Minister. Senator FARRELL: Thank you, President, for that protection from Senator McKenzie! We want a live and a life-giving river system in this country. We know just what the droughts in the early part of this century did to the communities along those rivers and we know what they did to people in South Australia. What Minister Plibersek says is right: we will do whatever it takes— (Time expired)
