The fact is that there have been a range of studies undertaken already into Menindee. I look forward to those reports being finalised. I would make the point that under John Howard nothing was done in relation to Menindee in over 12 years in government, so for Senator Birmingham to come in here and say ‘You haven’t done anything’ really smacks of enormous hypocrisy, particularly at a time when we know that members of the National Party are advocating for less water to go down the river.
