Australia's water minister, Tanya Plibersek, has hinted major water-savings deadlines in the Murray-Darling Basin Plan could be extended beyond 2024, as New South Wales claims it has won a commitment for "greater flexibility" to deliver one of the country's biggest environmental reforms.
Speaking at Canberra's Parliament House following a meeting of state and territory water ministers, federal water minister Ms Plibersek said the Commonwealth remained committed to delivering the legislated plan.
