    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I join my colleagues in completely rejecting the proposed amendments by the Senate on Clause 115. The Water Sector Trust Fund funds small networks that support water service accessibility in areas where many other water service companies would not see value or return on investment. So, if you say that the Equalisation Fund, which is supposed to enable areas which have been left behind by the ordinary systems of economic programming to be brought to equal levels with the rest of the areas, cannot be used like the Water Sector Trust Fund, then you are beating its constitutional purpose. One of the things the national Government should use the Equalisation Fund to do is to provide basic services like water. So, if it cannot be used with the Water Sector Trust Fund, I do not know what rationale one would have for keeping the Equalisation Fund."
