Why is the Murray-Darling Basin so important and how did we end up at this point?Amid the deaths of millions of fish and a scathing royal commission report, a war of words has erupted around the Murray–Darling Basin. How did we get here? And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood. And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus. How many years have we been seeing reports like this It’s really is time to fix it Oh, I know! I know! Because of gross mismanagement by government puppets of the cotton industry! Corruption and political backscratching for big business while our environment is laid to waste!

Beggars belief why Cotton is being grown in drought affected regions and given priority access to water - insane!

Ancient rite, modern fight: how brumbies are breaking the landscape“The horse is much heavier than us, so when they tread on this, they are turning the taps off on the Murrumbidgee River.” this is a national tragedy ad well as a threat to the ACT water supply. Ridiculous to despoil this ancient landscape for a 'tradition'less than 200 years old. Phftt to those who want to ride horse trails. preserve the fragile environment the biggest hooves in Australia that never had any. Wake up and cull them ,sell them eat them whatever!!! and that is a stupid comment it isn't the weight per say, it is the hooves.
