I have just outlined the fact that
we have a variety of sources that we can rely on to make sure that when we turn
a tap on in Western Australia, water comes out. We have climate-independent
water sources that have come on in the last 10 years that mean I am very
confident that we have the capacity to manage our water resources for the state
of Western Australia.
