Call it mismanagement but some people are thinking of a stronger word than that. Politicians give in to vested interests and justify it by saying the word 'jobs'. What they are saying is 'Bugger the environment. bugger the Australians who all own the river. 'Jobs' first.
Correct. The same sort of mismanagement created the death of the Aral Sea. In 1960, that was the 4th largest lake and in 1989, it was gone. We don't need a disaster like that here in Australia.
As also around climate science predicting environmental catastrophe, right wing Liberals &Nats are denialists - reject any inconvenient truth & look after their ultra rich mates in BigBiz
Dereliction by governments of obligation to citizens for safety & conserving the national common wealth - a catastrophe💰👺
craigthomler BarnabyJoyceLNP “looking after his mates & to hell with the environment”should be locked up for crimes against the environment.
FatherBob If water extraction upstream is the culprit, the inconvenient truth is that the Cubby station deal was agreed by 2 Labor governments in 2009 - Federal and QLD.
Incompetence and maladministration no doubt.
Thanks Barnaby!
It must be really bad if it’s killed the carp. So much for the natural species in the river. Government mis management as usual! Do you really expect any better people? Time to get real and hold these grubs accountable!

Calls for scrutiny of water management after mass fish deaths in NSWThe federal government is being urged to scrutinise the water management of Darling River as more mass fish deaths are predicted in the hot temperatures over coming days.

Global warming/climate change shouldn’t be a major perpetrator.

'Ecological disaster': Emergency meeting called with more fish deaths imminent'Ecological disaster': MP warns more fish deaths imminent this week, as confidential document reveals the NSW government was cautioned by its own experts years ago auspol NSW needs to stop passing the buck and continuing to blame the MDBA for releasing water at Menindee. NSW has an agreement to share its water at Menindee with the other basin states and the MDBA simply draws on that water and delivers it on behalf of the states. So many lies. Royal commission now!!! Heads need to roll!!! Economic policy needs to function so that it serves to protect the ethnicity and culture of the people and environmental values.

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 .
