Mr KATTER (Kennedy) (14:52): My question is to the Prime Minister. Is the Prime Minister aware that the National Water Commission's review is quoted in today's Australianand is warning the government: … the impact of coal-seam gas on water quality has become a pressing matter … there are also significant potential risks to water and our water management as a result of the scale of the development … there is a level of uncertainty … as a result of the less-than-perfect information … Opposition members interjecting— Mr KATTER: There is a fellow up here constantly interjecting and I would ask for the time to be taken off my time for the question. The gentleman is in the middle over there. Honourable members interjecting— The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Kennedy will resume his seat until the House comes to order. Now that the House is in order, I will call the member for Kennedy. I remind all that the member for Kennedy has a long memory and he will get his own back. He will be heard in silence. Mr KATTER: I only have two names down so far, Mr Speaker. Is the Prime Minister aware that there is, outside the Murray-Darling, negligible surface water above the Great Artesian Basin? Kangaroos, emus, birds, half of Australia's cattle and sheep, even tourism and elements of mining are therefore dependent upon this aquifer. In light of negligible employment and overwhelming foreign ownership, could the Prime Minister meet stakeholders and consider a moratorium on all drilling and intrusion into the GAB?
