Fish kills an Australian environmental disaster
In our great river basin of the Murray/Darling/Murrumbidgee river system it seems that in a drought stressed land irrigators have been allowed to buy water rights and store huge quantities of water leaving the rivers gasping and fish dying in huge numbers. It is a national disgrace and the appropriate State and Federal governments just have to get their act together and listen to science and what needs to be done. I know that striking the balance between building a strong economy and a sustainable environment is complex but the ball is in the governments' court. It has to be resolved fast unless we want to ruin the great Murray/Darling/Murrumbidgee basin. Speak up my fellow Aussies. Each voice can make a difference. May the Force be with those who can resolve this issue. GD
