Barnaby_Joyce D_LittleproudMP you did this, more stock sacrificed to horrific suffering due to your corruption & ineptitude. Hope you both live in chronic pain & never sleep well again.

Hope these sheep were rescued?

Heartbreaking. All these poor animals who can’t fend for themselves. To take pictures and let them die horrifically 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 I am so upset

Why is no one helping these animals

Yet another disgrace, be interesting to see if any action is taken?

Anyone asked Cubby station how much water they've used this year?

Barnaby Joyce and the Nats need to be held accountable for their water policies.

Standard LNP policy. Listen to donating lobby groups over scientists. The party of more coal less water. This is not good government. If they were CEO’s they’d be sacked.

This amount wasted on NYE and again in 2 weeks. 🙄
