00:04as always water is always top of mind. So we're going to be seeing again a continuation of almost

00:16of the current basin plan and then we're running straight into the review in 2026 of the basin

00:22plan and presumably moving to basin plan mark two. We're seeing talk about a new national water

00:28agreement or initiative, so top of mind. Some of the things that's going to be at us in that

00:33water space is how to deal with climate change effectively, what is cultural water and what

00:39impact will that have on water availability as time goes forward. Much bigger emphasis around
