Queensland farmers will be charged up to $100,000 to install water meters under a new plan to manage the state's water supply. The Palaszczuk Government wanted water licence holders to install water meters and data loggers to send live measurements to bureaucrats to monitor the state's water take.
Farmers said the meters would be measuring dry river beds and were a waste of money. A consultation paper revealed the cost of installation, maintenance and operation for the mandatory loggers would fall on farmers. Under the plan, the government said people who unfairly took water beyond their entitlement would be held accountable. Image: Getty
Is this another Jacqui_Tradd initiative She’s the one who usually dreams up these anti-Australian ideas and Puppet-Palaszczuk is too controlled or dumb? Lazy? Ignorant to alter them to aid Aussies
Disgusting.
They want the farmers gone... They want to make it so hard for people to live in rural areas so we are all forced into smart cities.. Total agenda 21/30 plan to move us off the land.... in cities we are more easily controlled.
EthanTOTT Just more money squeeze They are taxed on living And they call it a mental problem ? They are told to ring lifeline ,, Good idea
Surely this is a joke. If it isn’t it’s a disgrace.
The Queensland government chargering farmers a lot of money 💰. They should be helping the farmers. If they want to save money 💰 just cancel the $350 million dollars renewable energy plan and spend it on the farmers and plan for dams.
Palachuck, one person wrecking machine for qld, surely no one votes for these clowns again.
Stick your water meter where the sun doesn't shine.
Every week there's a new 'initiative' from the Brisbane Inner- City...
OMG how dare they. What scum our government are.
They are kidding right!!! What an absolute Joke!!!😡😡

QLD government doing all they can to destroy farmers and mining. Soon everyone will work for the government.
Chicanery to drive farmers off their land. According to UN Agenda 21 & 30. If the people knew what their gov't is doing to them there would be blood in the streets.
Don't need a meter to show you've got no water
Qld government is a joke
