NIAbbot let the listeners tonight know 😭

bring on a Federal Royal Commission into Murray Darling and water. Get rid of the LIb/Nat government. Please help by calling your local member of State Parliament and Senators. auspol fishkill MDBPlan DarlingRiver

Good. May be he’ll wake up to his responsibilities.

NSW minister ought to resign immediately & ought to be arrested for this crime. AusFedPolice

Did the govt release the virus? Hope the virus will never be released. Death via algae can be handled but the virus cannot be contained once released. So please prevent any destruction of fish in the Murray Darling basin and above all prevent the release of the virus.

The issue is a complex one and can’t simply be blamed on the minister. There is obviously the drought and also the draining of the lakes by the mdba for the SA lakes at the request of SA. Making death threats against the minister is taking the discussion to an all time low

No mention of Barnaby Joyce doing the same to the river as he did to his media adviser

Probably a concocted excuse so he wouldn't have to confront stakeholders who would deliver the real and ugly truth to him..Over allocation/over extraction by cotton irrigators with no restriction on Pump size...who are sucking the Darling river dry, so no water flows below Bourke

Should be in jail.
