The document below has come to me from Peter Smithers via my friend, the indefatigible water campaigner and environmentalist, Maria Reidl. It is wide-ranging and while it looks quite a bit to read, Peter has broken his snippets up into smaller 'chapters'. The Murray Darling Basin Plan is due for release in a little over a week, on 28 November. Things are warming up with predictions that neither irrigators nor environmentalists will be happy. Last time the irrigators were unhappy they burned copies of the plan in a Nazi-style book-burning in Griffith, NSW. If they are unhappy this time after a second crack at a plan which has included Tony Windsor's Inquiry, what will they do...what they gonna do....Thursday, 17 November 2011

This blog does not take Anonymous comments. Experience shows that comments cluttered with "Anonymous" are boring and people don't know whether "Anonymous" is one person or many. This is not a decision about freedom of speech. It is a decision about boring or unwillingness to be known by even a pseudonym.
