Federal Water Minister Tanya Plibersek has said she would not want to “start speculating” on how much the federal government would be spending on water buybacks following the announcement of the new Murray-Darling Basin water plan.
“We’re simply not going to start speculating even about the number of gigalitres of water we’re going to buy because to do that risks distorting the water market,” Ms. Plibersek said.
