Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Government in the Senate) (09:07): The bill that we are seeking to resolve, the Water Amendment (Restoring Our Rivers) Bill 2023, delivers on Malcolm Turnbull and John Howard's plan on the Murray-Darling Basin, an approach that was supported by the Liberal Party but that has always been opposed by Mr Joyce and the National Party. What we see from the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate today is a pathetic attempt to hide in consultation on a plan that he knows has been in place for nearly a decade that was sabotaged by Mr Barnaby Joyce. That's what it was. So what I'd say to Senator Birmingham and Senator Ruston and all of the South Australian Liberals is you should hang your heads in shame for the way in which you have been so weak as to allow a plan that you once supported to be sabotaged by members of the National Party, who have no interest in ensuring that the plan that you had in government is delivered. Opposition senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: Minister Wong, please resume your seat. Order on my left! Senator Ruston: I will not be lectured by you on this! The PRESIDENT: Senator Ruston, we have just had your leader on his feet. There were no interjections. We now have the Leader of the Government in the Senate on her feet, and there will be no interjections. Minister Wong, please continue. Senator WONG: Two out of 450 gigalitres is what you delivered, and you come in here and pretend that you still support this plan. You allowed it for a decade— Senator Birmingham: You forget about the 2,750, don't you! Senator WONG: and I'll take the interjection from the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, who I listened to in silence. The Leader of the Opposition in the Senate is such a weak leader for South Australia. You should go back to South Australia and go to Adelaide and tell them, 'I allowed the National Party yet again to try and blow up the plan.' Because that's what you did for nine years. I move: That the question be now put. The PRESIDENT: The question is the motion moved by Senator Wong be agreed to.
