Media Statement - Queensland water

"What’s happening in Queensland, may well be legal, but that doesn’t mean to say its right,” Premier Mike Rann said. In the 21st century, in an era of climate change, Australia should be moving to sustainable crops, particularly in the Murray Darling that’s enduring a one-in-one thousand year record low inflow. This situation is a poignant legacy of decades of mismanagement of the River System, when one region can take so much water when other communities are in a desperate situation."
