The Murray-Darling's Political Flows

from Earth Matters · host Darren Perry and Will Mooney

The Murray-Darling's Political Flows: Basin Plan under attackIn response to the failing health of the vital inland Murray-Darling river system, the Murray-Darling Basin Plan enables water allocations to be bought back from farmers and irrigators and kept in the river. The Plan doesn't go far enough but is an important step in revitalising the environmental and cultural flows that are essential to the river and the Aboriginal nations whose country it runs through. Recently, rogue Senators and angry irrigators from the South Basin have managed to mount a Senate Select Committee Inquiry into the Basin Plan.We speak with Will Mooney from the River Country Campaign and Darren Perry from the Murray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations.For more information and to sign the letter calling on PM Turnbull to commit to the Basin Plan on time and in full:River Country CampaignMurray Lower Darling Rivers Indigenous Nations
