Murray-Darling fish die-offs mimicking NZ | Sky News AustraliaThe mass die-off of more than a million fish in the Murray-Darling Basin is ‘very similar’ to waterways across the Tasman Sea, according to a prominent New Zealand ecologist.\n\nMassey University's doctor Mike Joy blames agricultural intensification for the deaths of fish and other freshwater organisms across New Zealand.\n\nHe says algal blooms, which lead to a lack of oxygen and inevitably suffocate river-based life, are a result of too much water being drained and too many nutrients going in. \n\nThe Australian Greens has called for a royal commission into the management of the Murray-Darling water system.\n\n\n D_LittleproudMP Call on the police to deal with this threat to farmers. D_LittleproudMP Time to identify these gutless cowards and call on every farmer to deliver a Ute load of the crap these people spew on to their inner city front door steps. Weak cowardly lunatic fringe mobs. Time to call them out..... D_LittleproudMP Farmers should publish a map showing where these “activists” live so people can trespass on their property!

Algal blooms that killed one million fish prompts death threats | Sky News AustraliaDeath threats have been levelled at a New South Wales government minister over an ecological disaster that led to mass fish deaths in the Murray–Darling Basin.\n\nBlue-green algae this week killed up to one million fish in a disaster the government blames on drought, but farmers are adamant the draining the Menindee Lakes, in the state's far west, led to the spread of the bacteria capable of suffocating fish. \n\nThe state’s Primary Industries Minister Niall Blair avoided large crowds during his visit to Menindee, over concerns for his safety.\n\nMr Blair says releasing 50 megalitres of water daily will keep the waterways alive until the hotter parts of the summer pass. \n\nImage: supplied \u002F News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Should be in jail. 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 No mention of Barnaby Joyce doing the same to the river as he did to his media adviser
