They were on track. They talked the farmers into infrastructure that wasted 30% less water. They gave that water back to the environment. The farmers bought more land because they thought they were entitled to the water, the water traders did well. The banks now want the farms back because the birds and the bees are getting some water.

> Murray-Darling Basin Plan

It can’t possibly be worse that John Howard’s Murray-Darling Basin Plan. John Howard’s plan was to set up the system so that everyone becomes the enemy of everyone else. As a result all the vested interests fought one another for water rights and environmental sanctions, which made them all too busy looking after their own plot to combine to put political pressure on Howard. Politically shrewd – horrifically bad for Australia.

The problem with any Murray-Darling Basin Plan is that there are far too many galahs out there who know nothing but think they know everything.

I don’t disgree. My stance will always be that without an environment, agribusiness is attempting monoculture desertification.
I’m all for using the water and the land for agribusiness.
