Address to the Murray Darling Basin Authority Public Meeting Griffith - speech 15 December 2011

Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities. A few months ago all the Water Ministers agreed - some more reluctantly than others - but agreed that 2019 would be the aligned date across the whole Basin so you didn't have a situation where a place like Shepparton - where I was a few days ago - had a long period of time and somewhere like Griffith was expected to do a very sharp turnaround. Where this will end up and it will end up there next year - next year we will have a nationwide plan for the Basin.
