Northern Victoria Region

Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (12:51): (906) My constituency question is to the Minister for Water regarding the Victorian Constraints Measures Program. The program completed its feasibility study last year, but I understand the final report on that study was to be released by the end of March. It has still not been released. My constituents in the Murrindindi shire need to know the outcome of this report as soon as possible in the light of the fact that Eildon Weir is again over 90 per cent full, with irrigation season finishing shortly and a strong La Niña forecast for later this year. When will this feasibility study be released to the public along with the technical documents associated with this report?

The PRESIDENT: I did not rule on Mr Galea’s point of order because I stood up and acted like everyone’s dad instead. Mr Galea, you are right: props should not be waved around.
