Water bill, carbon pollution reduction scheme- transcript 3 December 2008

JOURNALIST: Penny Wong thanks for your time.

WONG: Good to be here.

JOURNALIST: You called on Malcolm Turnbull to bring his Senators into line on the Water Bill. He's done that hasn't he?

WONG: We are very pleased with the indication from the Opposition last night that they will be supporting the Bill – that they won't be insisting on their amendments. So we are very pleased with that change of heart and this Bill, of course, is key to the future of the Murray-Darling Basin. This is the first time in our nation's history that we will be able to manage this Basin as a whole-of-Basin, reflecting the fact that rivers run across borders.
