The government has confirmed a formal review of the water extraction targets following our submission of this petition to Parliament. We have achieved the necessary shift in policy and will now monitor the implementation phase to ensure these adjustments hold. Thank you for providing the leverage required to challenge the …
“The revised Murray- Darling Basin Plan still stands to take 2750 gigalitres away from farmers and back into the river system for environmental flows each year. The revised plan has not been changed from the original proposal, despite having over 12 000 submissions from concerned businesses, organisations and individuals across NSW and Victoria.
The signatories below call on the Federal Government to re-consider the amount of water taken from farmers under the Basin Plan and the potential detriment this will cause on one of Australia’s most efficient areas of food production.”
I have finalized the formal briefing document for the upcoming presentation to state parliament. Correspondence is now being drafted to key representatives to ensure they review our concerns prior to the session.

Its not fair to punish the businesses that keep our regional towns alive. Rethink these numbers before it is too late

Too much water being taken. My family has been on the land for generations and this is just going to kill the local economy dead.
