southernriverin Bring on a RC. It will expose the poor assumptions in the modeling used for the Basin Plan and throw open the poor management of the lower lakes and Coorong by the Labour SA government over many years. Will even highlight the incompetence of the Federal Department.
Won’t happen unless Labor win government in NSW. Current NSW government will keep to the spin that the drought has caused this disaster. Given the mounting evidence I think we all know that’s not quite true, however, I predict that will be the line from Blair and the Premier.
No more INQUIRIES Needed. ACTION & charges for water theft & Storage of stolen element. On a GRAND SCALE.
barnaby_joyce should be hanged all this and so many disasters fall at his feet. The government should stop protecting their own interests and do something positive for their constituents governmentdoesntcare
The Darling River, the Great Barrier Reef, the kelp forests of Tasmania. Are Rose Bay and St Kilda the only part of Australia the current government cares about?
The problems with these special enquiries the results get sat on for as long as the government in power want, not good enough let alone the chance of doctored reports
RC inquiries can be trusted in a untrustworthy government system we live in, answer the question once and for all, millions of taxpayers money been spent on plans legislation policies etc. Let's put this to bed, there are obvious weather changes hotter summers and less rainfall
Should water treatment plants be put in place to help remediate the water quality and who pays for it ?
A retrospective inquiry is fine. But it’s hardly the urgent intervention that’s required right now.
MaryanneSlatte1 Hypocrisy- given they supported ending water buybacks at federal and State levels
the Ecological Disaster is called big business & foreign interest in this country
Too little too late!!! AustLabourParty
What does 9 entertainment know about news? Stick to breakfast shows.
Ew that wet hole smells like fish!
Cubbies Station buy-back and closure anyone?
We don’t need another inquiry. Everyone knows it’s the Cotton Growers upstream taking all the H2O! Including the Growers themselves! Selfish Mongrels!
Barnaby Joyce should be in handcuffs by now not at home diddling the secretary.
Don’t you know there is a drought in the country
Just got straight to the source of the problem... Barnaby_Joyce and The_Nationals 👍🏻 auspol barnabyaintfitforpurpose
Nat party is d big culprit They always side with cotton growers They r discharging pesticide n herbicide Easy to test the water poison

Independent scientists to prepare advice for Labor on Murray-Darling fish killThe Australian Academy of Science will bring together a group of experts to prepare an independent report on the Murray-Darling Basin fish kill for Opposition Leader Bill Shorten. Why launch a political skewed investigation and only offer the findings to the opposition leader for pure ammunition? How will that truly solve anything? It will become another do nothing debate topic for the parliament floor only.

NIGHTMARE IN 2019 .. Oh good, a study! Maybe for now release more water into the river. Pretty straightforward. Of course the all powerful & influential & intimidating cotton farmers may not like it but maybe tell them, for now, to suck it up.
