Maladministration rather than urge I would think.

Testing must be independent, gubbamint sacked all the scientists.

I think it’s a bit more like everyone is looking at the federal government and asking what the hell have you done.

The Federal Government failed in its water management. Sack them.

We must buy out cotton irrigators. What a disaster

Don’t forget it was a cold snap that killed the algae. Global warming/climate change shouldn’t be a major perpetrator.

A royal inquiry into donations taken by politicians from the cotton farms that were allowed to drain so much life from one of our oldest systems

Like they care enough to risk upsetting their lobby groups

Water minister orders independent fish kill study, as another mass fish death event reported in NSWThe Federal Government calls for an independent review of the mass fish kill in the Lower Darling, after Labor called its own scientific study. Independent fish kill study. 1 million fish killed. This is going to take some time. The only point of a review is to give the impression that the government is doing something while the attention of the media is on them so that we all forget about it once it's off them. We all know the cause and we all know why the Coalition are ignoring it. Ask Bill Shotton for help.

Climate change and poor management among factors behind death of a million fish in NSWThe sight of more than a million fish floating belly up on the Darling River at Menindee has thrown doubt over the management of the Murray-Darling Basin. Here's what we know about the mass deaths, and what experts say could be to blame. ‘Doubt’ over management. I’d suggest it’s proof of mismanagement Thrown doubt over the management? You can't hide a management screw up that catastrophic. Hey Vanuatu & Fiji more proof of Morrisons love for the environment and how he'll help your countries deal with ClimateChange . Dont believe a word, he's a denier and a fraud! ClimateDenier ecocide

NSW Govt releases interim report into mass fish deaths | Sky News AustraliaTemperature fluctuations and a lack of water flow are to blame for the drop in river quality that led to mass fish deaths in the Darling River, according to a government report.\n\nThe NSW Department of Primary Industries found these factors brought on low levels of oxygen in the water, which likely triggered up to one million deaths.\n\nThe state Opposition says the report proves the NSW Government has its priorities wrong. \n\nImage: supplied \u002F News Corp Australia \n\n\n So it wasn’t Adani’s fault? Ok, they still need to drill down further to get to the root cause of the lack of water flow.

NSW mass fish deaths a 'man-made disaster' say farmersThe NSW government has called for an urgent report into the mass fish deaths in far western NSW which residents are calling a 'man-made disaster'. I think they know what caused it........ If they've forgotten they should just watch the Four Corners episode on the Murray. sarahinthesen8 Are they taking the piss? Think the cotton farmers should be shut down, but fish kills happen frequently. Not news. Too late after horse has bolted. SA has been warning up river states for years. Algae bloom not unknown down ‘stream’.
